Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DGKG mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DGKG data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher DGKG mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DGKG expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where DGKG mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
