Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C1orf21 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C1orf21 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher C1orf21 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C1orf21 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and GBM are the cancer types where C1orf21 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
