Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GTF3AP5 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of GTF3AP5’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where GTF3AP5 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types GTF3AP5 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC and THCA are the cancer types where GTF3AP5 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
