Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MYH9 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 12 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MYH9 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV), where higher MYH9 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MYH9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and BLCA show a favorable association.
OV, LIHC, and BLCA are the cancer types where MYH9 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.
