Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MICAL2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MICAL2 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher MICAL2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MICAL2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
CCRCC, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where MICAL2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
