Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRMT61B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TRMT61B data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher TRMT61B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TRMT61B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC and PDAC show a favorable association.
LSCC, PDAC, and HNSC are the cancer types where TRMT61B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
