Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CD38 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CD38 data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), where higher CD38 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CD38 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SCLC, KIRC, and LIHC are the cancer types where CD38 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
Mutation survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
