Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EZHIP RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of EZHIP’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where EZHIP RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types EZHIP is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and ESCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, COAD, and ESCA are the cancer types where EZHIP tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
