Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KIAA0040 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KIAA0040 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher KIAA0040 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KIAA0040 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LUAD, GBM, and PDAC are the cancer types where KIAA0040 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
