Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RP9 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 17 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RP9’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where RP9 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RP9 is over-expressed in tumor.
HNSC, KIRC, and COAD are the cancer types where RP9 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in RP9 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
