Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMIM15 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMIM15 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher SMIM15 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMIM15 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
KIRP are the cancer types where SMIM15 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
