Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACSL4 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACSL4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher ACSL4 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACSL4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, UCS, and LUSC are the cancer types where ACSL4 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
