Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZNF174 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZNF174 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher ZNF174 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZNF174 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and GBM show a favorable association.
HNSC, LUAD, and GBM are the cancer types where ZNF174 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
