Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KNOP1P3 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KNOP1P3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where KNOP1P3 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KNOP1P3 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and LUAD are the cancer types where KNOP1P3 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
