Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, USH2A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 11 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated USH2A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where higher USH2A Mutation is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated USH2A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BLCA and UCEC show a favorable association.
BLCA, UCEC, and ESCA are the cancer types where USH2A 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.
