Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KLRD1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KLRD1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher KLRD1 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KLRD1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LUAD, SCLC, and UCEC are the cancer types where KLRD1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
