Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM126B Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM126B data layer compared with 19 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where higher TMEM126B Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM126B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
BLCA, COAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where TMEM126B Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
