Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC00457 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC00457’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC00457 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC00457 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, THCA, and LUSC are the cancer types where LINC00457 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
