Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FOXN4 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FOXN4 data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher FOXN4 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FOXN4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LUSC, COAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where FOXN4 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
