Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MEAF6 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MEAF6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where MEAF6 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MEAF6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and PDAC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where MEAF6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
