Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRTAP21-4P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KRTAP21-4P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where KRTAP21-4P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KRTAP21-4P is over-expressed in tumor.
UCEC, COAD, and PRAD are the cancer types where KRTAP21-4P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
