Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DHPS Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DHPS data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher DHPS Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DHPS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, ESCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where DHPS Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
