Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CLPP mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CLPP data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher CLPP mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CLPP expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and LSCC are the cancer types where CLPP mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
