Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, COX5B RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated COX5B data layer compared with 4 for mutation status and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher COX5B RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated COX5B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BLCA and SARC show a favorable association.
UVM, LUAD, and KICH are the cancer types where COX5B 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.
