Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SAMD15 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 8 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SAMD15 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uveal melanoma (UVM), where higher SAMD15 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SAMD15 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and BLCA show a favorable association.
UVM, ACC, and LUSC are the cancer types where SAMD15 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.
