Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGLV11-55 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of IGLV11-55’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where IGLV11-55 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types IGLV11-55 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, LUAD, and PRAD are the cancer types where IGLV11-55 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
