Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNLS mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RNLS data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher RNLS mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RNLS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where RNLS mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein 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.
