Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PHF5FP RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PHF5FP’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where PHF5FP RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PHF5FP is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and KIRP are the cancer types where PHF5FP tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
