FASTKD2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FASTKD2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FASTKD2 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.

The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher FASTKD2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FASTKD2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and PDAC show a favorable association.

LSCC, LUAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where FASTKD2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.

mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
