Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01242 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01242’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where LINC01242 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01242 is over-expressed in tumor.
LIHC are the cancer types where LINC01242 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
