Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TUBB4BP8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TUBB4BP8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where TUBB4BP8 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TUBB4BP8 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, LUAD, and BRCA are the cancer types where TUBB4BP8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
