Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC38A5 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC38A5 data layer compared with 21 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 SLC38A5 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC38A5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
CESC, UCEC, and LUAD are the cancer types where SLC38A5 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
