Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PCDH15 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 15 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PCDH15 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher PCDH15 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PCDH15 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and SKCM show a favorable association.
LIHC, KIRP, and DLBC are the cancer types where PCDH15 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.
