Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NUCKS1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated NUCKS1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher NUCKS1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated NUCKS1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and OV are the cancer types where NUCKS1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
