Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, USP2 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated USP2 data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher USP2 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated USP2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
LIHC, CHOL, and UCEC are the cancer types where USP2 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
