Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HEATR5A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HEATR5A data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher HEATR5A mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HEATR5A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and GBM are the cancer types where HEATR5A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
