Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C16orf86 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C16orf86 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher C16orf86 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C16orf86 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CESC, ACC, and BLCA are the cancer types where C16orf86 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
