Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NANOGNBP1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NANOGNBP1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where NANOGNBP1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NANOGNBP1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and KIRP are the cancer types where NANOGNBP1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
