Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, G2E3 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 14 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of G2E3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where G2E3 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types G2E3 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, BLCA, and THCA are the cancer types where G2E3 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 G2E3 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
