Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZIM2 RNA is linked to patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ZIM2 data layer compared with 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher ZIM2 RNA is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZIM2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and GBM show a favorable association.
ACC, LIHC, and UCEC are the cancer types where ZIM2 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.
