Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DEFB134 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DEFB134 data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher DEFB134 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DEFB134 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM are the cancer types where DEFB134 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
