Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TSC22D1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TSC22D1 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TSC22D1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TSC22D1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TSC22D1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
