Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DAB1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DAB1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher DAB1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DAB1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and PDAC show a favorable association.
GBM and PDAC are the cancer types where DAB1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
