Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CST13P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CST13P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where CST13P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CST13P is over-expressed in tumor.
BRCA and HNSC are the cancer types where CST13P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
