Papillary adenocarcinomas of the thyroid and a few cases of colorectal, prostate and ovary cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Lymphomas were weakly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CASK (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CAGH39, FGS4, LIN2, TNRC8
Description
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (MAGUK family) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase. The encoded protein is a MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase) protein family member. These proteins are scaffold proteins and the encoded protein is located at synapses in the brain. Mutations in this gene are associated with FG syndrome 4, mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, and a form of X-linked mental retardation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
