Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGHV3-72 Mutation is linked to patient survival in 2 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGHV3-72 data layer compared with 24 for mass-spec protein and 7 for mass-spec protein.
The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher IGHV3-72 Mutation is associated with worse disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGHV3-72 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.
SKCM and BLCA are the cancer types where IGHV3-72 Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.
