Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, BUD31 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated BUD31 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher BUD31 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated BUD31 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where BUD31 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
