Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VSTM2A-OT1 RNA is linked to patient survival in 15 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated VSTM2A-OT1 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in brain lower grade glioma (LGG), where higher VSTM2A-OT1 RNA is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VSTM2A-OT1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LGG and BLCA show a favorable association.
LGG, KIRC, and BLCA are the cancer types where VSTM2A-OT1 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.
