      abstract     = {Forkhead Box R2 (FOXR2) is a forkhead transcription factor
                      located on the X chromosome whose expression is normally
                      restricted to the testis. In this study, we performed a
                      pan-cancer analysis of FOXR2 activation across more than
                      10,000 adult and pediatric cancer samples and found FOXR2 to
                      be aberrantly upregulated in $70\%$ of all cancer types and
                      $8\%$ of all individual tumors. The majority of tumors
                      $(78\%)$ aberrantly express FOXR2 through a previously
                      undescribed epigenetic mechanism that involves
                      hypomethylation of a novel promoter, which was functionally
                      validated as necessary for both FOXR2 expression as well as
                      proliferation in FOXR2-expressing cancer cells. FOXR2
                      expression is sufficient to enhance tumor formation, and
                      coopts ETS family transcriptional circuits across cancers.
                      Taken together, this study identifies FOXR2 as potent and
                      ubiquitous oncogene that is epigenetically activated across
                      the majority of human cancers. The identification of ETS
                      transcriptional circuit hijacking by FOXR2 extends the
                      mechanisms known to activate ETS transcription factors and
                      highlights a mechanism through which transcription factor
                      families cooperate to enhance tumorigenesis.},
