Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM106C Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM106C data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher TMEM106C Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM106C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
COAD, KIRP, and UCEC are the cancer types where TMEM106C Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
