I believe it has to do with the substitution of one body part for another.
These homeotic genes encode for gene regulatory proteins known as homeodomain proteins. homeotic genes contain a 180 base pair sequence (homeobox) that encodes a 60 amino acid long region (homeodomain)
Pax 3 for Waardenburg's syndrome and rhabdoyosarcoma is somewhat significant.
Also Gbx and Nkx3.1 for prostate Ca is significant.
But there are many others!
