Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IDH3A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IDH3A data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher IDH3A mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IDH3A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where IDH3A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
