Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FCRL3 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of FCRL3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where FCRL3 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types FCRL3 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC and LUAD are the cancer types where FCRL3 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
