Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CSNK2A1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CSNK2A1 data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher CSNK2A1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CSNK2A1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
LSCC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where CSNK2A1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
