Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIR5591 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MIR5591’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where MIR5591 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MIR5591 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LIHC and LUAD are the cancer types where MIR5591 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
