Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ANKRD9 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ANKRD9’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where ANKRD9 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ANKRD9 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, KIRC, and COAD are the cancer types where ANKRD9 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 ANKRD9 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
