Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHAT Mutation is linked to patient survival in 8 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHAT data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher CHAT Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHAT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SCLC and SKCM show a favorable association.
UVM, LUAD, and SCLC are the cancer types where CHAT 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.
