Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KRT16 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KRT16 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in sarcoma (SARC), where higher KRT16 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KRT16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SARC, SKCM, and GBM are the cancer types where KRT16 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
