Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CST1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CST1 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), where higher CST1 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CST1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
ACC, HNSC, and COAD are the cancer types where CST1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
