Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL6P8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL6P8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where RPL6P8 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL6P8 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA and CHOL are the cancer types where RPL6P8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
