Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DDX60L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DDX60L data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher DDX60L mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DDX60L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where DDX60L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
