Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHAF1B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHAF1B data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher CHAF1B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHAF1B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, LSCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where CHAF1B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
