Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACAA1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ACAA1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where ACAA1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ACAA1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, KIRC, and HNSC are the cancer types where ACAA1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in ACAA1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
