Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL17P12 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL17P12’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where RPL17P12 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL17P12 is over-expressed in tumor.
STAD are the cancer types where RPL17P12 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
