Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL5P27 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL5P27’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where RPL5P27 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL5P27 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, COAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where RPL5P27 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
