Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LRRC72 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of LRRC72’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where LRRC72 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types LRRC72 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
KICH, HNSC, and COAD are the cancer types where LRRC72 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
