Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PRPF4B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PRPF4B data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher PRPF4B mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PRPF4B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where PRPF4B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
