Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZIK1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZIK1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher ZIK1 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZIK1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LIHC, BLCA, and UCEC are the cancer types where ZIK1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
