Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PAICSP6 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PAICSP6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where PAICSP6 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PAICSP6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA are the cancer types where PAICSP6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
