Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HMGCS1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HMGCS1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher HMGCS1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HMGCS1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CCRCC, LUAD, and OV are the cancer types where HMGCS1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
