Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ASIC5 RNA is linked to patient survival in 20 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ASIC5 data layer compared with 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher ASIC5 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ASIC5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUSC and SKCM show a favorable association.
KIRP, KIRC, and MESO are the cancer types where ASIC5 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.
