Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZNF280D mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ZNF280D’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where ZNF280D mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ZNF280D is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and PDAC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where ZNF280D tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
