Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNA6 RNA is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KCNA6 data layer compared with 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), where higher KCNA6 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KCNA6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SCLC show a favorable association.
SCLC are the cancer types where KCNA6 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
