A number of the genes thus identified are known MITF target genes, whereas the rest represent novel targets. Among the novel targets are two transcription factors, IRF 4 and TFAP 2 α which were analyzed further.
Af þeim genum sem voru á báðum listunum var fjöldi þekktra markgena MITF en einnig nokkur gen sem ekki hefur verið sýnt að stjórnist af MITF svo sem umritunarþættirnir IRF 4 og TFAP 2 alpha.
