Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GUCY2D RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated GUCY2D data layer compared with 7 for mutation status and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher GUCY2D RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GUCY2D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BRCA and SCLC show a favorable association.
KIRC, UCEC, and BRCA are the cancer types where GUCY2D 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.
