Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MALL RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated MALL data layer compared with 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher MALL RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MALL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and LUAD show a favorable association.
KIRC, UVM, and MESO are the cancer types where MALL 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.
