Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01541 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01541’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC01541 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01541 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BRCA, and THCA are the cancer types where LINC01541 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
