Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FBXL18 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 11 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of FBXL18’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where FBXL18 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types FBXL18 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, COAD, and LIHC are the cancer types where FBXL18 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 FBXL18 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
