Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LINC01138 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated LINC01138 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher LINC01138 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated LINC01138 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SARC show a favorable association.
HNSC, COAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where LINC01138 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
