Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, KLF16 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated KLF16 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher KLF16 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated KLF16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where KLF16 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
