Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HS3ST1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HS3ST1 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher HS3ST1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HS3ST1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where HS3ST1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
