Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAM8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ADAM8 data layer compared with 25 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 ADAM8 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADAM8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC, LIHC, and GBM are the cancer types where ADAM8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
