Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CXorf66 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CXorf66’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where CXorf66 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CXorf66 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LIHC and CHOL show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LIHC, CHOL, and KIRC are the cancer types where CXorf66 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
