Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TCEAL1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 14 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TCEAL1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where TCEAL1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TCEAL1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KICH, THCA, and BLCA are the cancer types where TCEAL1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in TCEAL1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
