Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAM23 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ADAM23’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where ADAM23 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ADAM23 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, HNSC, and KICH are the cancer types where ADAM23 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 ADAM23 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
