Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MAGEA8 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MAGEA8 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher MAGEA8 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MAGEA8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUSC, and SKCM are the cancer types where MAGEA8 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
