Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL27AP8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL27AP8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where RPL27AP8 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL27AP8 is over-expressed in tumor.
COAD and LIHC are the cancer types where RPL27AP8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
