Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GLCE RNA is linked to patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated GLCE data layer compared with 9 for mutation status and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher GLCE RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GLCE expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and PRAD show a favorable association.
MESO, KIRC, and BLCA are the cancer types where GLCE 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.
