Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM185AP1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TMEM185AP1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where TMEM185AP1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TMEM185AP1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, LUAD, and ESCA are the cancer types where TMEM185AP1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
