Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CHI3L2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CHI3L2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher CHI3L2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CHI3L2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
GBM and LSCC are the cancer types where CHI3L2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
