Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02270 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02270’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where LINC02270 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02270 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PRAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, PRAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where LINC02270 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
