Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ZNF436 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated ZNF436 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 6 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher ZNF436 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated ZNF436 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as LUAD and PDAC show a favorable association.
LSCC, LUAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where ZNF436 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
