Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZDHHC3 RNA is linked to patient survival in 22 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ZDHHC3 data layer compared with 3 for mutation status and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher ZDHHC3 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZDHHC3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD and UCS show a favorable association.
ACC, COAD, and UCS are the cancer types where ZDHHC3 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.
