Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF17 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF17 data layer compared with 17 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 KIF17 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, UCEC, and GBM are the cancer types where KIF17 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
