Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GSDMB mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GSDMB data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher GSDMB mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GSDMB expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where GSDMB mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
