Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CISD1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CISD1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CISD1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CISD1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CISD1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
