Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VGLL4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VGLL4 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher VGLL4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VGLL4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as OV and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and OV are the cancer types where VGLL4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
