Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1; transcriptional repressor GATA binding 1 (TRPS1), a member of the GATA transcription factor family, functions primarily as a transcriptional repressor. TRPS1 is frequently utilised as a diagnostic marker for breast carcinoma, although its specificity is lower than previously believed. Moreover, TRPS1 is expressed in various solid tumours originating from the skin, salivary glands, soft tissues, prostate, urothelium, and female genital tract. The current study evaluated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of TRPS1 in 451 primary tubo-ovarian tumours. The cohort included 94 high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs), 81 low-grade serous carcinomas (LGSCs), 31 micropapillary serous borderline tumours (mSBTs), 92 clear cell carcinomas (CCCs), 52 endometrioid carcinomas (ECs), 31 mucinous carcinomas (MCs), and 70 mucinous borderline tumours (MBTs). Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using tissue microarrays following standardised protocols. Clinical data were analysed to determine the prognostic relevance of TRPS1 expression. TRPS1 expression was detected in 47% of HGSCs, 44% of ECs, 35% of CCCs, 19% of LGSCs, and 29% of mSBTs with complete negativity in MC/MBT. TRPS1-negative HGSC cases had higher recurrence rates than those with positive staining. Furthermore, TRPS1 expression significantly correlated with improved metastasis-free survival in HGSC cases. These findings suggest that TRPS1 may serve as an independent prognostic marker for HGSC. Despite varying expression rates across primary tubo-ovarian carcinomas, the routine use of TRPS1 in the differential diagnosis seems to be limited, as other robust immunohistochemical markers are available for distinguishing the individual subgroups. Further research is needed to clarify the specific functions and clinical implications of TRPS1 in tubo-ovarian cancer.
