Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EPGN RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 9 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of EPGN’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where EPGN RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types EPGN is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, LUAD, and KICH are the cancer types where EPGN 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 EPGN RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
