Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM168B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM168B data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher FAM168B mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM168B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, GBM, and LSCC are the cancer types where FAM168B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
