Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DHX38 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DHX38 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher DHX38 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DHX38 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and CCRCC show a favorable association.
GBM, COAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where DHX38 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
