ACAT2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACAT2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACAT2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher ACAT2 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACAT2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

KIRP, HNSC, and UCEC are the cancer types where ACAT2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation 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.
