Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL36AP40 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 9 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL36AP40’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where RPL36AP40 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL36AP40 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KICH, and LUAD are the cancer types where RPL36AP40 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in RPL36AP40 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
