Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNU6-476P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RNU6-476P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where RNU6-476P RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RNU6-476P is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, KICH, and LIHC are the cancer types where RNU6-476P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
