Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C3orf38 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C3orf38 data layer compared with 30 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher C3orf38 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C3orf38 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
COAD, KIRC, and UCEC are the cancer types where C3orf38 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
