AKAP8

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AKAP8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AKAP8 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher AKAP8 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AKAP8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

LUSC, DLBC, and SKCM are the cancer types where AKAP8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
