Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EMCN RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 14 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of EMCN’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where EMCN RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types EMCN is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KICH, and KIRP are the cancer types where EMCN 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 EMCN RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
