Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV3-49 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV3-49 data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), where higher IGHV3-49 Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV3-49 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
LUSC, BRCA, and LUAD are the cancer types where IGHV3-49 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
