Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LYPD5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated LYPD5 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher LYPD5 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated LYPD5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC and GBM are the cancer types where LYPD5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
