Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DAZL Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DAZL data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where higher DAZL Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DAZL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
BRCA, KIRC, and LUSC are the cancer types where DAZL Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
