Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PTPN12 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PTPN12 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher PTPN12 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PTPN12 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where PTPN12 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
