Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPS12 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RPS12 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher RPS12 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RPS12 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and HNSC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where RPS12 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
