Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGLJ6 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of IGLJ6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where IGLJ6 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types IGLJ6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as READ show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, READ, and UCEC are the cancer types where IGLJ6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
