21. heterogeneous expression of Twist2 in breast tumors may have a functional link to tumor progression PMID: 23133563
22. Elevated expression of TWIST2 can contribute to invasion and metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and there might be some correlation between the hypoxia microenvironment and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in ACC. PMID: 22103974
23. This study suggests a dual role for epigenetic inactivation of TWIST2 in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, initially through altering cell growth and survival properties and subsequently by increasing resistance to chemotherapy. PMID: 22058208
24. upregulation of TWIST2, correlated with poor differentiation grade and shorter survival and identifies a subset of node-positive oral cavity/pharynx cancer patients with very poor prognosis PMID: 22201613
25. Twist1 and Twist2 modulate ATF4-dependent transcriptional activity in response to Parathyroid hormone. PMID: 21866569
26. Mexican-Nahua sibs with facial and ophthalmologic features of FFDD type III were evaluated. Genomic DNAs were isolated for sequencing of the TWIST2 gene. The affected sibs were homozygous for a novel TWIST2 frameshift mutation, c.168delC (p.S57AfsX45). PMID: 21931173
