Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ELOVL4 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ELOVL4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher ELOVL4 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ELOVL4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
STAD, LIHC, and LUSC are the cancer types where ELOVL4 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
