Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IL17C Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IL17C data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher IL17C Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IL17C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CESC, SKCM, and SARC are the cancer types where IL17C Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
