Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, POM121L4P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of POM121L4P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where POM121L4P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types POM121L4P is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, BRCA, and LIHC are the cancer types where POM121L4P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
