Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HMGN2P8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of HMGN2P8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where HMGN2P8 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types HMGN2P8 is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRC, KIRP, and LUAD are the cancer types where HMGN2P8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
