Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PDCL2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 17 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated PDCL2 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher PDCL2 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PDCL2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC and UCS show a favorable association.
ACC, UCEC, and COAD are the cancer types where PDCL2 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.
