Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IL2RB RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of IL2RB’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where IL2RB RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types IL2RB is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and LIHC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, STAD, and KIRP are the cancer types where IL2RB 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 IL2RB RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
