Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CLEC16A RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 11 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CLEC16A’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where CLEC16A RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CLEC16A is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, LIHC, and STAD are the cancer types where CLEC16A 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 CLEC16A RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
