Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TSPAN17 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TSPAN17 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in mesothelioma (MESO), where higher TSPAN17 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TSPAN17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
MESO, PRAD, and UCEC are the cancer types where TSPAN17 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
