Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BRCA2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BRCA2 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher BRCA2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BRCA2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LUAD, UCEC, and GBM are the cancer types where BRCA2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
