Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNU6-479P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RNU6-479P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where RNU6-479P RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RNU6-479P is over-expressed in tumor.
KIRC and KICH are the cancer types where RNU6-479P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
