Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TMTC4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TMTC4 data layer compared with 26 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TMTC4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TMTC4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
PDAC and LUAD are the cancer types where TMTC4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
