Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MGA Mutation is linked to patient survival in 10 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MGA data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher MGA Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MGA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and BLCA show a favorable association.
MESO, KICH, and PRAD are the cancer types where MGA Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
Mutation survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
