Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KMT2E RNA is linked to patient survival in 28 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated KMT2E data layer compared with 6 for mutation status and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher KMT2E RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KMT2E expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and HNSC show a favorable association.
KIRC, KICH, and ACC are the cancer types where KMT2E 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.
