Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, XYLT1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated XYLT1 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher XYLT1 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated XYLT1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where XYLT1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
