Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM120B RNA is linked to patient survival in 27 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated FAM120B data layer compared with 6 for mutation status and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV), where higher FAM120B RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM120B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and SCLC show a favorable association.
OV, KIRC, and SCLC are the cancer types where FAM120B 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.
