Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HAPLN3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HAPLN3 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher HAPLN3 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HAPLN3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
COAD, SKCM, and UCEC are the cancer types where HAPLN3 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
