ULK4

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ULK4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ULK4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.

The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher ULK4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ULK4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.

UCEC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ULK4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.

mass-spec protein 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.
