Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZDHHC23 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZDHHC23 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 8 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher ZDHHC23 mass-spec protein is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZDHHC23 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LSCC are the cancer types where ZDHHC23 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
