Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL23A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPL23A data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher RPL23A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPL23A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
STAD, BRCA, and BLCA are the cancer types where RPL23A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
