Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL23P11 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL23P11’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where RPL23P11 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL23P11 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, COAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where RPL23P11 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
