Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AQP5 RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated AQP5 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher AQP5 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AQP5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and HNSC show a favorable association.
UCEC, HNSC, and LGG are the cancer types where AQP5 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.
