Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DUSP26 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DUSP26 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher DUSP26 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DUSP26 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and SKCM show a favorable association.
HNSC, CESC, and LUAD are the cancer types where DUSP26 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
