Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL32P36 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL32P36’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where RPL32P36 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL32P36 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, THCA, and KICH are the cancer types where RPL32P36 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
