Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, OPN5 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated OPN5 data layer compared with 16 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher OPN5 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated OPN5 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LSCC, and GBM are the cancer types where OPN5 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
