Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PARP4P1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PARP4P1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where PARP4P1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PARP4P1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC are the cancer types where PARP4P1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
