Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C10orf120 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of C10orf120’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where C10orf120 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types C10orf120 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as ESCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and ESCA are the cancer types where C10orf120 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
