German term
teils angedeutet saumartiges
German to English
Medical
Medical: Oncology
Histology report of a neuroendocrine cancer:
"Synaptophysin zeigt ein partiell erkennbares, teils angedeutet saumartiges Expressionsprofil"
When you have teils + angedeutet + saumartig as 3 consecutive words in German, you know you're in trouble.
I'm looking for an elegant English translation, not "partly hinted" and the like. Please.
Thanks for your input!

Relating to the "expression profile", whatever that is supposed to mean.

: No real clue about what made you hit on 'hemispherical' here...

in parts vaguely seam-like
Sentence:
'Synaptophysin shows (or exhibits...?) a partially visible, in parts vaguely seam-like (seamlike?) expression profile (or 'pattern).'
As a first attempt. May others improve it...
Not sure about the hyphenation of 'seam-like'. Most texts on big G do hyphenate it, Collins dictionary does not..

Hi Lirka, as to your friendly reply:
I wouldn't use 'marginal' here. I do believe that 'saumartig' means that it literally resembles a kind of seam.

Most likely, this is about immunohistochemistry.

| Hi uyuni - thanks for your help. Not sure about "seam-like"; 'marginal', perhaps? |

: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/medical-general... teils angedeutet: as partly / sometimes / indicated NB in Austria: säumig is code for schlampig, much like the next answer.
