Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PDE6A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PDE6A data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), where higher PDE6A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PDE6A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
SCLC, LGG, and PRAD are the cancer types where PDE6A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
