Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AADACL3 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of AADACL3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where AADACL3 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types AADACL3 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, KIRC, and HNSC are the cancer types where AADACL3 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
