Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, UNC45A mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated UNC45A data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher UNC45A mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated UNC45A expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LSCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and LSCC are the cancer types where UNC45A mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
