Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LGALS8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated LGALS8 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBC), where higher LGALS8 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated LGALS8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
DLBC, UCEC, and ACC are the cancer types where LGALS8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
