Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CTCFL Mutation is linked to patient survival in 7 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CTCFL data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher CTCFL Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CTCFL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
COAD, UCEC, and SARC are the cancer types where CTCFL 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.
