Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DGKB mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DGKB data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher DGKB mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DGKB expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
GBM are the cancer types where DGKB mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
