Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DEFB128 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DEFB128 data layer compared with 6 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher DEFB128 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DEFB128 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

HNSC and SKCM are the cancer types where DEFB128 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.
