Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACVR2A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACVR2A data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher ACVR2A Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACVR2A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
SKCM, UCEC, and CHOL are the cancer types where ACVR2A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
