Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TAF9 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TAF9 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher TAF9 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TAF9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and PDAC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where TAF9 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
