Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGKV1D-13 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGKV1D-13 data layer compared with 18 for mass-spec protein and 1 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where higher IGKV1D-13 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGKV1D-13 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as CCRCC show a favorable association.
LSCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where IGKV1D-13 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
