KCNJ8

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNJ8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KCNJ8 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher KCNJ8 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KCNJ8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and SKCM show a favorable association.

HNSC, UCEC, and GBM are the cancer types where KCNJ8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation 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.
