Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BAG3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BAG3 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher BAG3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BAG3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where BAG3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
