Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, VPS29 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated VPS29 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher VPS29 mass-spec protein is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated VPS29 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and LSCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where VPS29 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
