Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ITM2BP1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ITM2BP1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where ITM2BP1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ITM2BP1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as READ and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, READ, and BRCA are the cancer types where ITM2BP1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
