Interestingly, UCH-L1 (known to be enriched in neurons and interacting with the Parkinson’s disease-associated protein α-synuclein) appeared to be a prognostic indicator of unfavorable outcome in endometrial and urothelial cancer, while increased expression of UCH-L3 and UCH-L5 was associated with poor survival in liver and thyroid cancer, respectively. Here, SNCA is linked to thyroid cancer.
