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