Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PEX16 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PEX16 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher PEX16 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PEX16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and PDAC are the cancer types where PEX16 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
