Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GRIN2D RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 15 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of GRIN2D’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where GRIN2D RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types GRIN2D is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, HNSC, and BLCA are the cancer types where GRIN2D 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 GRIN2D RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
