Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BTBD10 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of BTBD10’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where BTBD10 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types BTBD10 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where BTBD10 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
