Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TPTE2P4 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TPTE2P4’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where TPTE2P4 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TPTE2P4 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KIRP show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA and KIRP are the cancer types where TPTE2P4 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
