Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TTN mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TTN data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 20 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where higher TTN mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TTN expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and HNSC show a favorable association.
GBM, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where TTN mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
