Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HSPA1L Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HSPA1L data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher HSPA1L Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HSPA1L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LUSC, UCEC, and READ are the cancer types where HSPA1L Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
