Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HMCN2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HMCN2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher HMCN2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HMCN2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where HMCN2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
