Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMYD2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMYD2 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher SMYD2 Mutation is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMYD2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
UCEC, PRAD, and COAD are the cancer types where SMYD2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
