HELB

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HELB Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HELB data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher HELB Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HELB expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.

HNSC, UCEC, and SKCM are the cancer types where HELB 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.
