Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BNIP3L RNA is linked to patient survival in 20 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated BNIP3L data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney chromophobe (KICH), where higher BNIP3L RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BNIP3L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and PRAD show a favorable association.
KICH, MESO, and KIRC are the cancer types where BNIP3L 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.
