Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADRA1A RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ADRA1A data layer compared with 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher ADRA1A RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADRA1A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and LIHC show a favorable association.
KIRC, LIHC, and UVM are the cancer types where ADRA1A 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.
