Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM135B RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated FAM135B data layer compared with 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where higher FAM135B RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM135B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UVM and PAAD show a favorable association.
THCA, UVM, and PAAD are the cancer types where FAM135B 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.
