Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TXNDC16 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated TXNDC16 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher TXNDC16 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TXNDC16 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where TXNDC16 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
