Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV3-53 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 4 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV3-53 data layer compared with 28 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), where higher IGHV3-53 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV3-53 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as SKCM show a favorable association.
LIHC, SKCM, and TGCT are the cancer types where IGHV3-53 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
