Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL38 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPL38 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher RPL38 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPL38 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
STAD and CHOL are the cancer types where RPL38 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
