Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZCCHC17 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZCCHC17 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ZCCHC17 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZCCHC17 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where ZCCHC17 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
