Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GPATCH1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GPATCH1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher GPATCH1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GPATCH1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where GPATCH1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
