Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CD63 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CD63’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where CD63 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CD63 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and PRAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KIRP, and THCA are the cancer types where CD63 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in CD63 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
