Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MTND3P12 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MTND3P12’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where MTND3P12 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MTND3P12 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and KICH are the cancer types where MTND3P12 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
