Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC39A13 RNA is linked to patient survival in 30 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SLC39A13 data layer compared with 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher SLC39A13 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC39A13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and LUAD show a favorable association.
MESO, LUSC, and LIHC are the cancer types where SLC39A13 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.
