Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM20A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM20A data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher FAM20A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM20A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LIHC, UCEC, and BRCA are the cancer types where FAM20A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
