When the analysis focused on H63D homozygotes compared to WT HFE patients, the survival difference was marginally significant (p = 0.0539) ( S4A Fig ).

The dramatic difference in survival for male LUSC patients with C282Y HFE compared to WT HFE did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.0665); however, female LUSC patients with C282Y HFE had significantly poorer survival compared to WT HFE (p = 0.0283) ( Fig 4C and 4D ).
In TCGA database, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve for lung adenocarcinoma patients showed a trend toward poorer survival in H63D HFE variants compared to WT HFE patients (p = 0.0763) ( Fig 3A ).
