Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MRPL17 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated MRPL17 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher MRPL17 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated MRPL17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as COAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
COAD, LSCC, and UCEC are the cancer types where MRPL17 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
