Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC41A3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 7 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SLC41A3 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher SLC41A3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SLC41A3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where SLC41A3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
