Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NRG1-IT3 RNA is linked to patient survival in 8 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated NRG1-IT3 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), where higher NRG1-IT3 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NRG1-IT3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as ESCA show a favorable association.
KIRC, HNSC, and STAD are the cancer types where NRG1-IT3 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.
