Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VPS26A Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VPS26A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), where higher VPS26A Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VPS26A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
KIRP, LUSC, and PRAD are the cancer types where VPS26A Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
