Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, FAU mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated FAU data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher FAU mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated FAU expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where FAU mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
