Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, POLR2J2 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of POLR2J2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where POLR2J2 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types POLR2J2 is over-expressed in tumor.
ESCA and LIHC are the cancer types where POLR2J2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
