Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C1orf185 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of C1orf185’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where C1orf185 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types C1orf185 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, KICH, and KIRC are the cancer types where C1orf185 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
