Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAMTS6 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ADAMTS6 data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher ADAMTS6 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADAMTS6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM and SCLC show a favorable association.
MESO, KIRP, and STAD are the cancer types where ADAMTS6 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
