Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MBD3L2B RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MBD3L2B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where MBD3L2B RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MBD3L2B is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRP and KIRC are the cancer types where MBD3L2B tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
