Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ARL16 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ARL16 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher ARL16 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ARL16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LSCC and CCRCC are the cancer types where ARL16 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
