Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FRMD6 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of FRMD6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where FRMD6 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types FRMD6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as OV show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PDAC, LSCC, and OV are the cancer types where FRMD6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
