Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRAJ6 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TRAJ6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where TRAJ6 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TRAJ6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and READ show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, LUSC, and READ are the cancer types where TRAJ6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
