Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HNMT Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HNMT data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher HNMT Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HNMT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and DLBC are the cancer types where HNMT Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
