Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRIM16L RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 10 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TRIM16L’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where TRIM16L RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TRIM16L is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, THCA, and KIRC are the cancer types where TRIM16L 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 TRIM16L RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
