Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DLG5 RNA is linked to patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated DLG5 data layer compared with 11 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher DLG5 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DLG5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and BRCA show a favorable association.
HNSC, LIHC, and BRCA are the cancer types where DLG5 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.
