Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KDM3A RNA is linked to patient survival in 27 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated KDM3A data layer compared with 10 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher KDM3A RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KDM3A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and LAML show a favorable association.
MESO, KIRC, and ACC are the cancer types where KDM3A 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.
