Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DUX4L4 RNA is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated DUX4L4 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher DUX4L4 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DUX4L4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
STAD and ESCA are the cancer types where DUX4L4 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
