Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM182A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM182A data layer compared with 17 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher FAM182A mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM182A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and HNSC are the cancer types where FAM182A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
