Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADGRA1-AS1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ADGRA1-AS1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where ADGRA1-AS1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ADGRA1-AS1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, KIRC, and LIHC are the cancer types where ADGRA1-AS1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
