Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ATXN3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ATXN3 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ATXN3 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ATXN3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC, COAD, and CHOL are the cancer types where ATXN3 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
