Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PIGU RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated PIGU data layer compared with 5 for mutation status and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher PIGU RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PIGU expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as READ and THYM show a favorable association.
LIHC, BLCA, and UVM are the cancer types where PIGU 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.
