Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM182 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM182 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TMEM182 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM182 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC are the cancer types where TMEM182 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
