Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HECW1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 14 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of HECW1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where HECW1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types HECW1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, HNSC, and THCA are the cancer types where HECW1 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 HECW1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
