Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGF2-AS mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGF2-AS data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher IGF2-AS mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGF2-AS expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and GBM show a favorable association.
LUAD, GBM, and LSCC are the cancer types where IGF2-AS mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
