Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IFT22 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IFT22 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IFT22 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IFT22 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, UCEC, and HNSC are the cancer types where IFT22 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
