Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PARVA mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 7 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PARVA’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where PARVA mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PARVA is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and CCRCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, CCRCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where PARVA tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
mass-spec protein tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in PARVA mass-spec protein (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
