Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MAP1LC3A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MAP1LC3A data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher MAP1LC3A mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MAP1LC3A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LSCC are the cancer types where MAP1LC3A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
