Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IFNA16 RNA is linked to patient survival in 7 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated IFNA16 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), where higher IFNA16 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IFNA16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SCLC, UCEC, and THYM are the cancer types where IFNA16 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.
