Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPS3AP23 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPS3AP23’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where RPS3AP23 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPS3AP23 is over-expressed in tumor.
HNSC and LUSC are the cancer types where RPS3AP23 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
