Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ANKRD34A RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 10 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ANKRD34A’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where ANKRD34A RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ANKRD34A is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, LUAD, and LIHC are the cancer types where ANKRD34A 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 ANKRD34A RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
