Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HTR3B RNA is linked to patient survival in 16 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated HTR3B data layer compared with 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher HTR3B RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HTR3B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UVM and CESC show a favorable association.
MESO, THYM, and UVM are the cancer types where HTR3B 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.
