Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NKX2-1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NKX2-1 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher NKX2-1 Mutation is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NKX2-1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as STAD show a favorable association.
STAD, PRAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where NKX2-1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
