Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAM6 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ADAM6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where ADAM6 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ADAM6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LIHC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD and LIHC are the cancer types where ADAM6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
