Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NQO2-AS1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NQO2-AS1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where NQO2-AS1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NQO2-AS1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as KICH and KIRP show the opposite, repressed pattern.

KICH, LIHC, and KIRP are the cancer types where NQO2-AS1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.

RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in NQO2-AS1 RNA (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
