Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSD17B14 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSD17B14 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where higher HSD17B14 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSD17B14 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
ESCA, STAD, and CHOL are the cancer types where HSD17B14 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
