Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01874 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC01874’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where LINC01874 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC01874 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRP and KIRC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRP, KIRC, and KICH are the cancer types where LINC01874 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
