Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PLS1 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PLS1 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher PLS1 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PLS1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
LIHC, PRAD, and ESCA are the cancer types where PLS1 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
