Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GHITM RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 10 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of GHITM’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where GHITM RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types GHITM is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, THCA, and COAD are the cancer types where GHITM 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 GHITM RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
