Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIF22 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIF22 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), where higher KIF22 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIF22 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
ESCA, SKCM, and UCEC are the cancer types where KIF22 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
