Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GNAL Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GNAL data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where higher GNAL Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GNAL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
THCA, HNSC, and LIHC are the cancer types where GNAL Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
