Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZDHHC20 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 15 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ZDHHC20’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where ZDHHC20 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ZDHHC20 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BLCA, and KICH are the cancer types where ZDHHC20 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 ZDHHC20 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
