Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SIGLECL1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SIGLECL1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where SIGLECL1 RNA is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SIGLECL1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as BRCA and STAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, KIRP, and LUAD are the cancer types where SIGLECL1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
