Most of the cancer tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several melanomas along with a few endometrial and ovarian cancers were strongly stained. Several lymphomas, renal, stomach and breast cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HPS1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
BLOC3S1, HPS
Description
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. The encoded protein is a component of three different protein complexes termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex (BLOC)-3, BLOC4, and BLOC5. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
