Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TM4SF20 RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TM4SF20 data layer compared with 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher TM4SF20 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TM4SF20 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LGG and UCS show a favorable association.
ACC, LUAD, and UVM are the cancer types where TM4SF20 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.
