Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRBOX1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KRBOX1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where KRBOX1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KRBOX1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KICH, and UCEC are the cancer types where KRBOX1 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 KRBOX1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
