Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GPC5 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated GPC5 data layer compared with 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher GPC5 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GPC5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PAAD and ACC show a favorable association.
UVM, PAAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where GPC5 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.
