Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NGF Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NGF data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher NGF Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NGF expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LIHC, BLCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where NGF 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.
