Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NIPAL3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NIPAL3 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher NIPAL3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NIPAL3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and UCEC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, PDAC, and UCEC are the cancer types where NIPAL3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
