Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DHPS mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DHPS data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher DHPS mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DHPS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and GBM show a favorable association.
LSCC, CCRCC, and GBM are the cancer types where DHPS mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
