Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VASP Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VASP data layer compared with 30 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher VASP Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VASP expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
SKCM, LIHC, and ESCA are the cancer types where VASP Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
