Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RRM2B mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RRM2B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where RRM2B mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RRM2B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LSCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where RRM2B tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
