Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CENPUP2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CENPUP2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where CENPUP2 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CENPUP2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, KIRC, and THCA are the cancer types where CENPUP2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
