Dysregulation of alternative splicing is a key molecular hallmark of cancer. However, the common features and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report an intriguing length-dependent splicing regulation in cancers. By systematically analyzing the transcriptome of thousands of cancer patients, we found that short exons are more likely to be mis-spliced and preferentially excluded in cancers. Compared to other exons, cancer-associated short exons (CASEs) are more conserved and likely to encode in-frame low-complexity peptides, with functional enrichment in GTPase regulators and cell adhesion. We developed a CASE-based panel as reliable cancer stratification markers and strong predictors for survival, which is clinically useful because the detection of short exon splicing is practical. Mechanistically, mis-splicing of CASEs is regulated by elevated transcription and alteration of certain RNA binding proteins in cancers. Our findings uncover a common feature of cancer-specific splicing dysregulation with important clinical implications in cancer diagnosis and therapies.
