Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RTN4R mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated RTN4R data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher RTN4R mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated RTN4R expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LSCC show a favorable association.
GBM and LSCC are the cancer types where RTN4R mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
