Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DAW1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DAW1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher DAW1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DAW1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LUAD are the cancer types where DAW1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
