Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KY Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KY data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher KY Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KY expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and STAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, LIHC, and STAD are the cancer types where KY Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
