Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, C2orf42 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated C2orf42 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher C2orf42 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated C2orf42 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where C2orf42 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
