IL6R

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, IL6R Mutation is linked to patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated IL6R data layer compared with 20 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), where higher IL6R Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated IL6R expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker.

SKCM are the cancer types where IL6R Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
