Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CICP6 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CICP6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where CICP6 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CICP6 is over-expressed in tumor.
LUSC are the cancer types where CICP6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
