Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNH1-IT1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 9 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KCNH1-IT1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where KCNH1-IT1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KCNH1-IT1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, HNSC, and KIRC are the cancer types where KCNH1-IT1 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 KCNH1-IT1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
