Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C1S RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated C1S data layer compared with 7 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher C1S RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C1S expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LIHC and SKCM show a favorable association.
KIRC, LIHC, and SKCM are the cancer types where C1S 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.
