Twenty-six tumor samples were assessed for Shank2, cortactin and cyclin D1 protein expression; of these, 22 cases had DNA gain of all three genes and 19/22 (86%) overexpressed Shank2 (score3), 16/22 (72%) overexpressed cortactin, while only 5/22 cases (22%) overexpressed cyclin D1, (score of 3). Here, CTTN is linked to neoplasm.
