Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AGO3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AGO3 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher AGO3 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AGO3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD show a favorable association.
SKCM, PRAD, and CHOL are the cancer types where AGO3 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
