Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AIF1L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AIF1L data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher AIF1L mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AIF1L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where AIF1L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
