Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TTC9B RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TTC9B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where TTC9B RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TTC9B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, KICH, and LIHC are the cancer types where TTC9B 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 TTC9B RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
