Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, JAK1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated JAK1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 10 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher JAK1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated JAK1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where JAK1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
