Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MS4A6A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MS4A6A data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), where higher MS4A6A Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MS4A6A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PRAD and SCLC are the cancer types where MS4A6A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
