Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PDGFD Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PDGFD data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher PDGFD Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PDGFD expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
COAD, UCEC, and STAD are the cancer types where PDGFD Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
