Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ALDH1L1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ALDH1L1 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher ALDH1L1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ALDH1L1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, COAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where ALDH1L1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
