Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMIM24 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMIM24 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher SMIM24 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMIM24 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
CCRCC and PDAC are the cancer types where SMIM24 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
