Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, COL4A1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated COL4A1 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in thymoma (THYM), where higher COL4A1 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated COL4A1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as STAD and UCEC show a favorable association.
THYM, BLCA, and HNSC are the cancer types where COL4A1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
