Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, WNT2B mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of WNT2B’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where WNT2B mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types WNT2B is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where WNT2B tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
