Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHD5-24 RNA is linked to patient survival in 10 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated IGHD5-24 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher IGHD5-24 RNA is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHD5-24 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BRCA and LUSC show a favorable association.
HNSC, BRCA, and KIRP are the cancer types where IGHD5-24 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA survival associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
