Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, DNASE1L3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated DNASE1L3 data layer compared with 30 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher DNASE1L3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated DNASE1L3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where DNASE1L3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
