Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LCE2D RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LCE2D’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where LCE2D RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LCE2D is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, KIRC, and CHOL are the cancer types where LCE2D tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
