Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LGI1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LGI1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where LGI1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LGI1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and BLCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, BLCA, and HNSC are the cancer types where LGI1 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 LGI1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
