Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNU6-761P RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RNU6-761P’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where RNU6-761P RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RNU6-761P is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC and KICH show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUSC and KICH are the cancer types where RNU6-761P tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
