Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AGO1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AGO1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher AGO1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AGO1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where AGO1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
