Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HOTAIRM1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 7 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of HOTAIRM1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where HOTAIRM1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types HOTAIRM1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KICH, HNSC, and KIRC are the cancer types where HOTAIRM1 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 HOTAIRM1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
