Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OCEL1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 11 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of OCEL1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where OCEL1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types OCEL1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, THCA, and KIRC are the cancer types where OCEL1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in OCEL1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
