Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNORD115-22 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SNORD115-22 data layer compared with 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher SNORD115-22 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SNORD115-22 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
LUSC and SKCM are the cancer types where SNORD115-22 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
