Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02131 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02131’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where LINC02131 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02131 is over-expressed in tumor.
BRCA, KICH, and LUAD are the cancer types where LINC02131 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
