Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01149 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01149’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where LINC01149 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01149 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, HNSC, and THCA are the cancer types where LINC01149 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
