Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PITPNM2 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PITPNM2 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 9 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PITPNM2 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PITPNM2 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LSCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where PITPNM2 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
