Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MFAP3L mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MFAP3L’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where MFAP3L mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MFAP3L is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as CCRCC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.

CCRCC and LUAD are the cancer types where MFAP3L tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.

mass-spec protein tumor vs normal associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in MFAP3L mass-spec protein (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
