Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01259 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01259’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC01259 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01259 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, LUSC, and STAD are the cancer types where LINC01259 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
