Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNU6-18P RNA is linked to patient survival in 10 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated RNU6-18P data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher RNU6-18P RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RNU6-18P expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as ESCA and SKCM show a favorable association.
LUAD, DLBC, and COAD are the cancer types where RNU6-18P 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.
