Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNORD115-16 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SNORD115-16 data layer compared with 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher SNORD115-16 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SNORD115-16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CESC and SKCM are the cancer types where SNORD115-16 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
