Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRAJ18 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 7 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TRAJ18’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where TRAJ18 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TRAJ18 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BRCA, and COAD are the cancer types where TRAJ18 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 TRAJ18 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
