Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HERC4 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HERC4 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where higher HERC4 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HERC4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
ESCA, UCEC, and COAD are the cancer types where HERC4 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
