Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ALKBH6 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ALKBH6 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher ALKBH6 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ALKBH6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where ALKBH6 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
