Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CSMD3 RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated CSMD3 data layer compared with 11 for mutation status and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher CSMD3 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CSMD3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LGG and PAAD show a favorable association.
KIRC, LUAD, and KIRP are the cancer types where CSMD3 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.
