Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VN1R87P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of VN1R87P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where VN1R87P RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types VN1R87P is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KIRP show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, KIRP, and THCA are the cancer types where VN1R87P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
