Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DUSP18 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DUSP18 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher DUSP18 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DUSP18 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LIHC and BLCA are the cancer types where DUSP18 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
