Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ARAF Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ARAF data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher ARAF Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ARAF expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and MESO show a favorable association.
LIHC, STAD, and SKCM are the cancer types where ARAF Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
