Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM239A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM239A data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where higher FAM239A Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM239A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
ESCA are the cancer types where FAM239A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
