Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL32P17 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL32P17’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), where RPL32P17 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL32P17 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PAAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PAAD and KIRC are the cancer types where RPL32P17 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
