Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZNF48 RNA is linked to patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated ZNF48 data layer compared with 4 for mutation status and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher ZNF48 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZNF48 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UVM and HNSC show a favorable association.
UVM, HNSC, and MESO are the cancer types where ZNF48 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.
