Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RIC3-DT RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RIC3-DT’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where RIC3-DT RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RIC3-DT is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KICH, and UCEC are the cancer types where RIC3-DT tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
