Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SPATA31D5P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SPATA31D5P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where SPATA31D5P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SPATA31D5P is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, ESCA, and BRCA are the cancer types where SPATA31D5P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
