Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHCHD5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHCHD5 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher CHCHD5 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHCHD5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CCRCC, HNSC, and PDAC are the cancer types where CHCHD5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
