Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IFT46 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IFT46 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IFT46 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IFT46 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, CCRCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where IFT46 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
