Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TIGAR mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TIGAR data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher TIGAR mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TIGAR expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
COAD, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where TIGAR mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
