Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C12orf73 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C12orf73 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher C12orf73 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C12orf73 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where C12orf73 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
