Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, COL9A3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated COL9A3 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher COL9A3 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated COL9A3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, READ, and COAD are the cancer types where COL9A3 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.
