Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, YWHAE mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated YWHAE data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher YWHAE mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated YWHAE expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
PDAC, CCRCC, and LSCC are the cancer types where YWHAE mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
