Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NAIF1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NAIF1 data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher NAIF1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NAIF1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and HNSC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where NAIF1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
