Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TUBB8P9 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TUBB8P9’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where TUBB8P9 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TUBB8P9 is over-expressed in tumor.
BRCA and LUSC are the cancer types where TUBB8P9 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
