Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DENND2D mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DENND2D data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher DENND2D mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DENND2D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
COAD, HNSC, and GBM are the cancer types where DENND2D mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
