Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNE2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated KCNE2 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where higher KCNE2 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KCNE2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and UCS show a favorable association.
BRCA, HNSC, and UCS are the cancer types where KCNE2 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.
