Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TXN RNA is linked to patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TXN data layer compared with 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher TXN RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TXN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and THYM show a favorable association.
LUAD, ACC, and LIHC are the cancer types where TXN 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.
