Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF18B Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF18B data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher KIF18B Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF18B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
ACC, KICH, and COAD are the cancer types where KIF18B Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
