So note: homeobox genes are NOT Hox genes, Hox genes are a subset of homeobox genes. HOX cluster: The term Hox cluster refers to a group of clustered homeobox genes, named Hox genes in vertebrates, that play important roles in pattern formation along the anterior-posterior body axis.n fact, the first homeobox genes discovered where those of the Drosophila homeotic gene clusters, i.e. the Antennapedia complex and the Bithorax complex, which summarily are referred to as HOM-C (homeotic complex).
