Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MDFI Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MDFI data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher MDFI Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MDFI expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
COAD, BLCA, and PRAD are the cancer types where MDFI Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
