Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMG5 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMG5 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), where higher SMG5 Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMG5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as STAD show a favorable association.
STAD, HNSC, and COAD are the cancer types where SMG5 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
