Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM86B Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM86B data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher TMEM86B Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM86B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM, STAD, and CESC are the cancer types where TMEM86B Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
Mutation survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
