Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC39A3 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC39A3 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher SLC39A3 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC39A3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
STAD, LUSC, and HNSC are the cancer types where SLC39A3 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
