Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PRKAR1A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PRKAR1A data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher PRKAR1A mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PRKAR1A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where PRKAR1A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
