UCMA

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UCMA Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated UCMA data layer compared with 16 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher UCMA Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated UCMA expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.

HNSC, ACC, and UCEC are the cancer types where UCMA 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.
