Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAMDEC1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ADAMDEC1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where ADAMDEC1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ADAMDEC1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and CCRCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LSCC, COAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where ADAMDEC1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
