Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FOXD4L1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FOXD4L1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher FOXD4L1 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FOXD4L1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as STAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, DLBC, and STAD are the cancer types where FOXD4L1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
