Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DEFB107A RNA is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated DEFB107A data layer compared with 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher DEFB107A RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DEFB107A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as ESCA show a favorable association.
STAD and ESCA are the cancer types where DEFB107A RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
