Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NGEF mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NGEF data layer compared with 16 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher NGEF mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NGEF expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and UCEC show a favorable association.
PDAC, UCEC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where NGEF mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
