Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMEM63A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMEM63A data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TMEM63A mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMEM63A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
PDAC, LSCC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where TMEM63A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
