Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TOP1MT Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TOP1MT data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher TOP1MT Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TOP1MT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
KIRP, UCEC, and BLCA are the cancer types where TOP1MT Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
