Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CROCC RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CROCC’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where CROCC RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CROCC is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and UCEC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, LIHC, and HNSC are the cancer types where CROCC 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 CROCC RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
