Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PIGB RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated PIGB data layer compared with 2 for mutation status and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher PIGB RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PIGB expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRC and SARC show a favorable association.
UVM, KIRC, and LGG are the cancer types where PIGB 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.
