Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HTD2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HTD2 data layer compared with 17 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher HTD2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HTD2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and UCEC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, GBM, and UCEC are the cancer types where HTD2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
