Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02214 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02214’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC02214 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02214 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, ESCA, and THCA are the cancer types where LINC02214 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
