Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KDM5D Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KDM5D data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher KDM5D Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KDM5D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
HNSC and SKCM are the cancer types where KDM5D Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
