Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TUBA1C mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TUBA1C data layer compared with 29 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher TUBA1C mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TUBA1C expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and LSCC show a favorable association.
CCRCC, HNSC, and GBM are the cancer types where TUBA1C mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
