Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MAGEB1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MAGEB1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where MAGEB1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MAGEB1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LIHC, UCEC, and BRCA are the cancer types where MAGEB1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
