Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, INPP4B mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 6 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of INPP4B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where INPP4B mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types INPP4B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC and LSCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PDAC, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where INPP4B tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
mass-spec protein tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in INPP4B mass-spec protein (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
