Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PSMC1P7 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PSMC1P7’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where PSMC1P7 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PSMC1P7 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as ESCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, LUAD, and BRCA are the cancer types where PSMC1P7 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
