Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MTRES1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 11 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MTRES1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where MTRES1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MTRES1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KICH, THCA, and KIRP are the cancer types where MTRES1 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 MTRES1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
