Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSPB8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSPB8 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher HSPB8 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSPB8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM, ESCA, and PRAD are the cancer types where HSPB8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
