Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CD70 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 10 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CD70’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where CD70 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CD70 is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRC, HNSC, and KIRP are the cancer types where CD70 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 CD70 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
