Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OAS2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated OAS2 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher OAS2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated OAS2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
COAD, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where OAS2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
