Malignant cells exhibited moderate nuclear staining with additional cytoplasmic positivity in a few tumors. Strong nuclear positivity was observed in most cases of malignant melanomas and skin cancers and in a few cases of malignant lymphomas, testicular cancers and adenocarcinomas.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NHEJ1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
Cernunnos, FLJ12610, XLF
Description
Nonhomologous end-joining factor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Double-strand breaks in DNA result from genotoxic stresses and are among the most damaging of DNA lesions. This gene encodes a DNA repair factor essential for the nonhomologous end-joining pathway, which preferentially mediates repair of double-stranded breaks. Mutations in this gene cause different kinds of severe combined immunodeficiency disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
