Fraction of tumor cells in several squamous cell carcinomas, ovarian, liver, thyroid and urothelial cancers along with a few stomach and pancreatic cancers displayed distinct nuclear positivity. A few cases of colorectal cancers were strongly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Description
Synovial sarcoma, X breakpoint 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene belongs to the family of highly homologous synovial sarcoma X (SSX) breakpoint proteins. These proteins may function as transcriptional repressors. They are also capable of eliciting spontaneously humoral and cellular immune responses in cancer patients, and are potentially useful targets in cancer vaccine-based immunotherapy. SSX1, SSX2 and SSX4 genes have been involved in the t(X;18) translocation characteristically found in all synovial sarcomas. This gene appears not to be involved in this type of chromosome translocation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
