Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHST13 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHST13 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher CHST13 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHST13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, LIHC, and LUSC are the cancer types where CHST13 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
