Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PIWIL3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PIWIL3 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher PIWIL3 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PIWIL3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, SARC, and PRAD are the cancer types where PIWIL3 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
