SOX2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SOX2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SOX2 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher SOX2 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SOX2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

SKCM are the cancer types where SOX2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
