Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KCNK9 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KCNK9 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher KCNK9 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KCNK9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
LUAD, SKCM, and STAD are the cancer types where KCNK9 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
