Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DGCR6L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DGCR6L data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher DGCR6L mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DGCR6L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM and LSCC are the cancer types where DGCR6L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
