Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PIWIL1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 8 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PIWIL1 data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher PIWIL1 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PIWIL1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and SKCM show a favorable association.
UCEC, KIRC, and DLBC are the cancer types where PIWIL1 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.
