Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PSMC1P5 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PSMC1P5’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where PSMC1P5 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PSMC1P5 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, STAD, and LUSC are the cancer types where PSMC1P5 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
