Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GLDN mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GLDN data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher GLDN mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GLDN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
GBM and CCRCC are the cancer types where GLDN mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
