Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign tumour, mostly affecting adolescent males. Its molecular aetiology and pathogenesis are widely unknown. In the last two decades several different genes and proteins have been analyzed by various molecular approaches to identify possible mechanisms contributing to JNA growth. In this review we give a short overview about the published basic JNA research and suggest future directions.
