Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRMT1L mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TRMT1L data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher TRMT1L mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TRMT1L expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TRMT1L mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
