Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PHF21A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PHF21A data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where higher PHF21A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PHF21A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
BLCA, UCEC, and ESCA are the cancer types where PHF21A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
