Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ACO2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ACO2 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ACO2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ACO2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and OV show a favorable association.
PDAC, OV, and LSCC are the cancer types where ACO2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
