Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM14B RNA is linked to patient survival in 27 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TMEM14B data layer compared with 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher TMEM14B RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM14B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and THYM show a favorable association.
LIHC, KIRP, and KICH are the cancer types where TMEM14B 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.
