Majority of malignant cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear membranous staining in many cases. Malignant lymphomas, endometrial, cervical and prostate cancers were in general weakly stained or negative.

Description
Even-skipped homeobox 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is located at the 5' end of the HOXD gene cluster on chromosome 2. The encoded protein is a homeobox transcription factor that is related to the protein encoded by the Drosophila even-skipped (eve) gene, a member of the pair-rule class of segmentation genes. A 117 kb microdeletion at the 5' end of the HOXD gene cluster, which includes this gene and the HOXD9-HOXD13 genes, causes synpolydactyly, a dominantly inherited disease resulting in limb malformation.
