VPS53

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VPS53 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VPS53 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher VPS53 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VPS53 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and SKCM show a favorable association.

HNSC, UCEC, and PRAD are the cancer types where VPS53 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.
