Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HLA-V Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated HLA-V data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where higher HLA-V Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated HLA-V expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
COAD are the cancer types where HLA-V Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
