Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GJB1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GJB1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher GJB1 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GJB1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SCLC show a favorable association.
LIHC, SKCM, and SCLC are the cancer types where GJB1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
