Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NTSR2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NTSR2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where NTSR2 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NTSR2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as STAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, LUSC, and STAD are the cancer types where NTSR2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
