A majority of breast, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, renal, urothelial and testicular cancers were moderately stained. Remaining malignant cells generally showed weak staining or were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DSPP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DFNA39, DGI1, DMP3
Description
Dentin sialophosphoprotein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes two principal proteins of the dentin extracellular matrix of the tooth. The preproprotein is secreted by odontoblasts and cleaved into dentin sialoprotein and dentin phosphoprotein. Dentin phosphoprotein is thought to be involved in the biomineralization process of dentin. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dentinogenesis imperfecta-1; in some individuals, dentinogenesis imperfecta occurs in combination with an autosomal dominant form of deafness. Allelic differences due to repeat polymorphisms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
