Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02277 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02277’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where LINC02277 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02277 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, LUSC, and UCEC are the cancer types where LINC02277 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
