Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM186A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM186A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher FAM186A Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM186A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, KIRP, and ACC are the cancer types where FAM186A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
