Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PTPRN mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated PTPRN data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher PTPRN mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated PTPRN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where PTPRN mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
