Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TXN RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 15 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TXN’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where TXN RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TXN is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LIHC, KIRC, and LUSC are the cancer types where TXN 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 TXN RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
