Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SEC11B RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SEC11B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where SEC11B RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SEC11B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, HNSC, and KIRC are the cancer types where SEC11B tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
