Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GALT Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GALT data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher GALT Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GALT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

HNSC, THCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where GALT 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.
