Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM160B2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM160B2 data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher FAM160B2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM160B2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, UCEC, and LUAD are the cancer types where FAM160B2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
