Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV3-23 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV3-23 data layer compared with 21 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where higher IGHV3-23 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV3-23 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as PDAC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
LUAD, PDAC, and CCRCC are the cancer types where IGHV3-23 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
