Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSH2D mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSH2D data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher HSH2D mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSH2D expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and LSCC are the cancer types where HSH2D mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
