Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AKAP17A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AKAP17A data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher AKAP17A mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AKAP17A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and UCEC are the cancer types where AKAP17A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
