Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM121 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM121 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher TMEM121 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM121 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM and ACC are the cancer types where TMEM121 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
