Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAM83D mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAM83D data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher FAM83D mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAM83D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, GBM, and HNSC are the cancer types where FAM83D mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
