Most colorectal and breast cancers along with a few cases of malignant lymphomas, ovarian, endometrial, urothelial and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear immunoreactivity. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or negative.
Several cases of malignant carcinoids and hepatocellular carcinomas exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Moderate cytoplasmic an/or nuclear staining was observed in a few cases of renal, breast and lung cancers. Remaining malignant cells were in general weakly stained or negative.

Description
Leucine rich repeat containing 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the leucine-rich repeat-containing family of proteins, which function in diverse biological pathways. This family member may possibly be a nuclear protein. Similarity to the RAS suppressor protein, as well as expression down-regulation observed in tumor cells, suggests that it may function as a tumor suppressor. The gene is located in the chromosome 3 common eliminated region 1 (C3CER1), a 1.4 Mb region that is commonly deleted in diverse tumors. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 2.
