Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MEP1AP4 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MEP1AP4’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where MEP1AP4 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MEP1AP4 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and READ show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, READ, and UCEC are the cancer types where MEP1AP4 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
