Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNJ3 RNA is linked to patient survival in 17 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated KCNJ3 data layer compared with 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher KCNJ3 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KCNJ3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and BRCA show a favorable association.
KIRC, UVM, and BRCA are the cancer types where KCNJ3 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.
