Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KMT2C RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of KMT2C’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where KMT2C RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types KMT2C is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, CHOL, and LIHC are the cancer types where KMT2C tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
