Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CPT1C RNA is linked to patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CPT1C data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher CPT1C RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CPT1C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and PAAD show a favorable association.
KIRP, BLCA, and UVM are the cancer types where CPT1C 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.
