Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DPY19L4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DPY19L4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher DPY19L4 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DPY19L4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
HNSC and LUAD are the cancer types where DPY19L4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
