Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DARS2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DARS2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher DARS2 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DARS2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LGG, and LUSC are the cancer types where DARS2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
