Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SMNDC1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SMNDC1 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher SMNDC1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SMNDC1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and GBM are the cancer types where SMNDC1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
