Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IGLV5-48 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IGLV5-48 data layer compared with 22 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher IGLV5-48 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IGLV5-48 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as HNSC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
HNSC, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where IGLV5-48 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
