NKX6-2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NKX6-2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NKX6-2 data layer compared with 17 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher NKX6-2 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NKX6-2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

LUSC are the cancer types where NKX6-2 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.
