Cancers generally showed moderate cytoplasmic staining, except most lymphomas, squamous cell carcinomas, testis- and prostate cancers, were many negative examples were observed.
A majority of cancer tissues were either negative or showed weak cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Thyroid cancers expressed strong staining while most colorectal, urothelial, stomach, pancreatic, ovarian cancers and malignant melanomas showed moderate positivity.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
TRIO and F-actin binding protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein with an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a C-terminal coiled-coil region. The protein interacts with trio, which is involved with neural tissue development and controlling actin cytoskeleton organization, cell motility and cell growth. The protein also associates with F-actin and stabilizes F-actin structures. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that would encode different isoforms have been found for this gene, however some transcripts may be subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).
