Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC1A5 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC1A5 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), where higher SLC1A5 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC1A5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
CESC, SKCM, and LUSC are the cancer types where SLC1A5 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
