Most malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear staining in several cases. Many renal cancers and several non-Hodgkins lymphomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PEX7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
PTS2R, RD
Description
Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the cytosolic receptor for the set of peroxisomal matrix enzymes targeted to the organelle by the peroxisome targeting signal 2 (PTS2). Defects in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), which are characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. There are at least 14 complementation groups for PBDs, with more than one phenotype being observed in cases falling into particular complementation groups. Although the clinical features of PBD patients vary, cells from all PBD patients exhibit a defect in the import of one or more classes of peroxisomal matrix proteins into the organelle. Defects in this gene have been associated with PBD complementation group 11 (PBD-CG11) disorders, rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 (RCDP1), and Refsum disease (RD).
