Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02720 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02720’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where LINC02720 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02720 is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRC, BRCA, and KICH are the cancer types where LINC02720 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
