Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM219B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM219B data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher FAM219B mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM219B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC and LSCC are the cancer types where FAM219B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
