Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NSMCE1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NSMCE1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher NSMCE1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NSMCE1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where NSMCE1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
