Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MAPT mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MAPT data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher MAPT mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MAPT expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC and LSCC are the cancer types where MAPT mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
