Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM86A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM86A data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in brain lower grade glioma (LGG), where higher TMEM86A Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM86A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LGG, PRAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where TMEM86A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
