Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VTCN1 RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated VTCN1 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBC), where higher VTCN1 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VTCN1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC and LGG show a favorable association.
DLBC, CESC, and COAD are the cancer types where VTCN1 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.
