Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ELAVL4 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ELAVL4 data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), where higher ELAVL4 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ELAVL4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SCLC and HNSC show a favorable association.
SCLC, LIHC, and HNSC are the cancer types where ELAVL4 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.
