KIF5A

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF5A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF5A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), where higher KIF5A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF5A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

UCS, PRAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where KIF5A 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.
