Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PTGDS Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PTGDS data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PTGDS Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PTGDS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC, OV, and CESC are the cancer types where PTGDS Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
Mutation survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
