Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RMND5A mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RMND5A’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where RMND5A mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RMND5A is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LSCC, LUAD, and COAD are the cancer types where RMND5A tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
