Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SNAPIN mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated SNAPIN data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher SNAPIN mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated SNAPIN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and COAD are the cancer types where SNAPIN mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
