Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NDUFAB1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NDUFAB1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher NDUFAB1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NDUFAB1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and GBM show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and GBM are the cancer types where NDUFAB1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
