Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM161B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM161B data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher FAM161B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM161B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM and LSCC are the cancer types where FAM161B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
