Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIR101-2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MIR101-2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where MIR101-2 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MIR101-2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, LUSC, and PRAD are the cancer types where MIR101-2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
