Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, H3P26 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of H3P26’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where H3P26 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types H3P26 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BLCA, KICH, and LUSC are the cancer types where H3P26 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
