Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADSS1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ADSS1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where ADSS1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ADSS1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ADSS1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
