FAH

mass-spec protein & survival
Survivalmass-specKaplan–Meier · TCGA cohorts

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAH mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAH data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher FAH mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAH expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.

HNSC, COAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where FAH mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.

mass-spec protein 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.
