Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ATAD5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ATAD5 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ATAD5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ATAD5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC and LSCC are the cancer types where ATAD5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
