Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZP1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 12 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ZP1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where ZP1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ZP1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, COAD, and KIRP are the cancer types where ZP1 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 ZP1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
