Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C8orf82 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of C8orf82’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where C8orf82 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types C8orf82 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as CCRCC and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC and HNSC are the cancer types where C8orf82 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
