Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MBTD1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MBTD1 data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher MBTD1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MBTD1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where MBTD1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
