Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPS27AP18 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPS27AP18’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where RPS27AP18 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPS27AP18 is over-expressed in tumor.
BRCA, LUSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where RPS27AP18 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
