Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM251P1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TMEM251P1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where TMEM251P1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TMEM251P1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BRCA, and THCA are the cancer types where TMEM251P1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
