Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM14EP RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TMEM14EP’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where TMEM14EP RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TMEM14EP is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, KICH, and BRCA are the cancer types where TMEM14EP tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
