Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CLEC4G mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CLEC4G data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher CLEC4G mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CLEC4G expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
HNSC are the cancer types where CLEC4G mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
