Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NBEAP3 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NBEAP3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where NBEAP3 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NBEAP3 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, BRCA, and LUAD are the cancer types where NBEAP3 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
