Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV1-18 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV1-18 data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV), where higher IGHV1-18 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV1-18 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
OV, LGG, and LUAD are the cancer types where IGHV1-18 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
