Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UBA3 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated UBA3 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher UBA3 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated UBA3 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD show a favorable association.
LSCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where UBA3 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
