Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GATAD2A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GATAD2A data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher GATAD2A mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GATAD2A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and GBM are the cancer types where GATAD2A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
