Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, LYST mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated LYST data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 11 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher LYST mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated LYST expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
LUAD, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where LYST mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
