Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NF1P8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NF1P8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where NF1P8 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NF1P8 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, HNSC, and BRCA are the cancer types where NF1P8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
