Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ADAMTS12 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ADAMTS12 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ADAMTS12 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ADAMTS12 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ADAMTS12 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
