Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPE Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPE data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher RPE Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPE expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC and CHOL are the cancer types where RPE Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
