Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BUB1B RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated BUB1B data layer compared with 7 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher BUB1B RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BUB1B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and THYM show a favorable association.
KIRP, ACC, and MESO are the cancer types where BUB1B 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.
