Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM255A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM255A data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher TMEM255A mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM255A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
GBM are the cancer types where TMEM255A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
