Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIR513A2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MIR513A2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where MIR513A2 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MIR513A2 is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRC, KIRP, and COAD are the cancer types where MIR513A2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
