Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DNAL4 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DNAL4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher DNAL4 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DNAL4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CESC show a favorable association.
CESC are the cancer types where DNAL4 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
