Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CIART RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CIART data layer compared with 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher CIART RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CIART expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUSC and KIRP show a favorable association.
LUSC, KIRP, and LGG are the cancer types where CIART 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.
