Most malignant cells showed weak cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity or were negative. A majority of malignant melanomas, colorectal and testicular cancers exhibited moderate to strong staining.
Malignant cells generally showed distinct nuclear staining. A majority of cases in breast, colorectal, gastric, endometrial and prostate cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RECQL (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
RecQ1, RecQL1
Description
RecQ helicase-like (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DNA helicase family. DNA helicases are enzymes involved in various types of DNA repair, including mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair and direct repair. Some members of this family are associated with genetic disorders with predisposition to malignancy and chromosomal instability. The biological function of this helicase has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcripts, which encode the same isoform but differ in their 5' and 3' UTRs, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
