Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNORD121A RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SNORD121A data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV), where higher SNORD121A RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SNORD121A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and LUAD show a favorable association.
OV, LIHC, and SKCM are the cancer types where SNORD121A 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.
