Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MPPED2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MPPED2 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher MPPED2 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MPPED2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, GBM, and CCRCC are the cancer types where MPPED2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
