Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BCKDHA Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BCKDHA data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher BCKDHA Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BCKDHA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
STAD, SKCM, and UCEC are the cancer types where BCKDHA Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
