Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL23AP85 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL23AP85’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where RPL23AP85 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL23AP85 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as UCEC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
UCEC, LUAD, and BRCA are the cancer types where RPL23AP85 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
