Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TUBB2A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TUBB2A data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), where higher TUBB2A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TUBB2A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
BRCA, UCEC, and LUSC are the cancer types where TUBB2A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
