Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LATS2-AS1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LATS2-AS1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), where LATS2-AS1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LATS2-AS1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PAAD and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PAAD and KICH are the cancer types where LATS2-AS1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
