Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NOD2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 8 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NOD2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher NOD2 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NOD2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and STAD show a favorable association.
ACC, UCEC, and ESCA are the cancer types where NOD2 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.
