Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ARGLU1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ARGLU1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ARGLU1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ARGLU1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ARGLU1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
