Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMCR8 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMCR8 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher SMCR8 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMCR8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and LUAD show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where SMCR8 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
