Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNORA37 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SNORA37’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where SNORA37 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SNORA37 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and READ show the opposite, repressed pattern.
BRCA, LUSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where SNORA37 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
