Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSD17B7 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSD17B7 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher HSD17B7 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSD17B7 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM and STAD are the cancer types where HSD17B7 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
