Malignant cells showed a variable staining pattern. A few cases of pancreatic cancers displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Many cases of squamous cell carcinomas, colorectal and breast cancers along with a few cases of prostate, urothelial, renal and pancreatic cancers expressed moderate staining. Remaining malignant cells were either negative or weakly stained.
Most cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Cases of testicular, gastric and urothelial cancers expressed strong staining. Most renal cancers and cases of liver, cervical and endometrial cancers were negative.

Entrez gene summary
Machado-Joseph disease, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia-3, is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder. The protein encoded by this gene contains (CAG)n repeats in the coding region, and the expansion of these repeats from the normal 13-36 to 68-79 is one cause of Machado-Joseph disease. There is a negative correlation between the age of onset and CAG repeat numbers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
