Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCDC85C mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CCDC85C’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where CCDC85C mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CCDC85C is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as CCRCC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where CCDC85C tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
