Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CDK13 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CDK13 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher CDK13 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CDK13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where CDK13 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
