Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF25-AS1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KIF25-AS1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where KIF25-AS1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KIF25-AS1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, KICH, and BRCA are the cancer types where KIF25-AS1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
