Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GIGYF1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GIGYF1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher GIGYF1 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GIGYF1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, UCEC, and PDAC are the cancer types where GIGYF1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
