Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MTUS2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MTUS2 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher MTUS2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MTUS2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where MTUS2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
