Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RAB39B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RAB39B data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher RAB39B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RAB39B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and GBM show a favorable association.
PDAC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where RAB39B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
