Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIR6827 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MIR6827’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where MIR6827 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MIR6827 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA and BRCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
THCA, BRCA, and ESCA are the cancer types where MIR6827 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
