Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACTR8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACTR8 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ACTR8 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACTR8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, ESCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where ACTR8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
