Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OR13H1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of OR13H1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where OR13H1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types OR13H1 is over-expressed in tumor.
LUSC and STAD are the cancer types where OR13H1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
