Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FUT5 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FUT5 data layer compared with 17 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher FUT5 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FUT5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUSC and SKCM show a favorable association.
LUSC, SKCM, and LIHC are the cancer types where FUT5 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
Mutation survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
