Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSPD1P13 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of HSPD1P13’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where HSPD1P13 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types HSPD1P13 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and ESCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BRCA, and ESCA are the cancer types where HSPD1P13 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
