TIGAR

mass-spec protein & survival
Survivalmass-specKaplan–Meier · TCGA cohorts

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.

mass-spec protein survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
