Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MTO1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 11 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MTO1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where MTO1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MTO1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, KICH, and HNSC are the cancer types where MTO1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in MTO1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
