Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NHSL2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NHSL2 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher NHSL2 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NHSL2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and GBM show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where NHSL2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
