Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NDUFB4P4 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NDUFB4P4’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where NDUFB4P4 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NDUFB4P4 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as STAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC and STAD are the cancer types where NDUFB4P4 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
