Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZC2HC1B mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZC2HC1B data layer compared with 15 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher ZC2HC1B mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZC2HC1B expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and GBM show a favorable association.
LUAD, HNSC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where ZC2HC1B mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
