Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01502 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01502’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where LINC01502 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01502 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and UCEC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, THCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where LINC01502 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
