LIF

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LIF Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated LIF data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher LIF Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated LIF expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.

UCEC, ACC, and SKCM are the cancer types where LIF 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.
