Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV1-46 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV1-46 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where higher IGHV1-46 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV1-46 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC and LUAD show a favorable association.
CCRCC, LUAD, and HNSC are the cancer types where IGHV1-46 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
