Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BNIP3P32 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of BNIP3P32’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where BNIP3P32 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types BNIP3P32 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, KIRC, and THCA are the cancer types where BNIP3P32 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
