Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM83B RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated FAM83B data layer compared with 10 for mutation status and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher FAM83B RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM83B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and ESCA show a favorable association.
UVM, LUAD, and KIRP are the cancer types where FAM83B 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.
