Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02229 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02229’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC02229 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02229 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KIRC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KIRC, BRCA, and KICH are the cancer types where LINC02229 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
