Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRT34 RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated KRT34 data layer compared with 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher KRT34 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KRT34 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM and UCS show a favorable association.
KIRC, MESO, and COAD are the cancer types where KRT34 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.
