Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC02784 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LINC02784’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where LINC02784 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LINC02784 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PRAD and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC, PRAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where LINC02784 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
