Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HEATR6 RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated HEATR6 data layer compared with 7 for mutation status and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher HEATR6 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HEATR6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PAAD and ESCA show a favorable association.
STAD, LIHC, and KIRC are the cancer types where HEATR6 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.
