Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DOLK Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DOLK data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV), where higher DOLK Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DOLK expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
OV, BLCA, and LUSC are the cancer types where DOLK Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
