Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DBF4B RNA is linked to patient survival in 29 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated DBF4B data layer compared with 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher DBF4B RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DBF4B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as READ and UCS show a favorable association.
ACC, KIRC, and KICH are the cancer types where DBF4B 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.
