Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PRR27 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PRR27’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where PRR27 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PRR27 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, BRCA, and LUSC are the cancer types where PRR27 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
