Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OTOF RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 8 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of OTOF’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where OTOF RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types OTOF is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, HNSC, and KIRP are the cancer types where OTOF 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 OTOF RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
