Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, APBA1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of APBA1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where APBA1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types APBA1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, COAD, and KICH are the cancer types where APBA1 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 APBA1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
