Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRTAP4-11 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KRTAP4-11’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where KRTAP4-11 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KRTAP4-11 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA and THCA are the cancer types where KRTAP4-11 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
