Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ANKS1A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ANKS1A data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher ANKS1A mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ANKS1A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where ANKS1A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
