Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PCDHB5 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated PCDHB5 data layer compared with 11 for mutation status and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher PCDHB5 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PCDHB5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PAAD and MESO show a favorable association.
STAD, BLCA, and PAAD are the cancer types where PCDHB5 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.
