Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UBBP2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of UBBP2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where UBBP2 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types UBBP2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, KIRC, and THCA are the cancer types where UBBP2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
