Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DCAF12L1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DCAF12L1 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher DCAF12L1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DCAF12L1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV show a favorable association.
LSCC, OV, and CCRCC are the cancer types where DCAF12L1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
