Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRMT2A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TRMT2A data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TRMT2A mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TRMT2A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and COAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and UCEC are the cancer types where TRMT2A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
