Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZBTB9 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZBTB9 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 3 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher ZBTB9 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZBTB9 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.
PDAC, HNSC, and UCEC are the cancer types where ZBTB9 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
