Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ARID4A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ARID4A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ARID4A mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ARID4A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where ARID4A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
