Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NPAP1P2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NPAP1P2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where NPAP1P2 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NPAP1P2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, LUSC, and UCEC are the cancer types where NPAP1P2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
