Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ASXL2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ASXL2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher ASXL2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ASXL2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where ASXL2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
