Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MIR124-2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated MIR124-2 data layer compared with 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in brain lower grade glioma (LGG), where higher MIR124-2 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MIR124-2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LGG and HNSC show a favorable association.
LGG, HNSC, and SARC are the cancer types where MIR124-2 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
