Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL36AL mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPL36AL data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher RPL36AL mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPL36AL expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LUAD, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where RPL36AL mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
