Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL32 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPL32 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher RPL32 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPL32 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC are the cancer types where RPL32 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
