Most malignant cells showed moderate to strong nuclear positivity. In the skin, basal cell carcinomas showed less staining intensity than squamous cell carcinomas.
Malignant cells displayed moderate to strong nuclear immunoreactivity.

Myocyte enhancer factor 2D (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors. Members of this family are involved in control of muscle and neuronal cell differentiation and development, and are regulated by class II histone deacetylases. Fusions of the encoded protein with Deleted in Azoospermia-Associated Protein 1 (DAZAP1) due to a translocation have been found in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, suggesting a role in leukemogenesis. The encoded protein may also be involved in Parkinson disease and myotonic dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
