FADS2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FADS2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FADS2 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where higher FADS2 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FADS2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

BRCA and UCEC are the cancer types where FADS2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
