Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01162 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01162’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where LINC01162 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01162 is over-expressed in tumor.
LUSC, HNSC, and STAD are the cancer types where LINC01162 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
