Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UPK1B RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated UPK1B data layer compared with 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher UPK1B RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated UPK1B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as KIRP and UCEC show a favorable association.
STAD, KIRP, and UCEC are the cancer types where UPK1B 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.
