KAT6B

RNA — tumor vs normal
Tumor vs NormalRNABox plot · TCGA cohorts

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KAT6B RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KAT6B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where KAT6B RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KAT6B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BLCA and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.

BLCA, BRCA, and COAD are the cancer types where KAT6B 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 KAT6B RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
