Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BUD13 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BUD13 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher BUD13 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BUD13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, UCEC, and LUAD are the cancer types where BUD13 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
