Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OR8B9P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of OR8B9P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where OR8B9P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types OR8B9P is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRP and BRCA are the cancer types where OR8B9P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
