Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HMGA2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HMGA2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher HMGA2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HMGA2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where HMGA2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
