Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHRNA9 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHRNA9 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), where higher CHRNA9 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHRNA9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
PRAD, UCEC, and ACC are the cancer types where CHRNA9 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
