Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, APOBEC3C Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated APOBEC3C data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher APOBEC3C Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated APOBEC3C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LUAD and THCA are the cancer types where APOBEC3C Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
