Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNORD71 RNA is linked to patient survival in 14 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated SNORD71 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher SNORD71 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SNORD71 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BRCA and READ show a favorable association.
UVM, THCA, and BLCA are the cancer types where SNORD71 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.
