Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CAPN6 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CAPN6 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CAPN6 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CAPN6 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CAPN6 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
