TFEC

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

The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher TFEC Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TFEC expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.

LUSC, SKCM, and ESCA are the cancer types where TFEC 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.
