Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DCAF16 RNA is linked to patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated DCAF16 data layer compared with 2 for mutation status and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher DCAF16 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DCAF16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as READ and UCS show a favorable association.
LIHC, READ, and UCS are the cancer types where DCAF16 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.
