Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TRBV6-8 RNA is linked to patient survival in 21 of 34 cancer types, making it the most broadly survival-associated TRBV6-8 data layer.
The strongest signal is observed in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), where higher TRBV6-8 RNA is associated with better overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated TRBV6-8 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as BLCA and KIRC show a favorable association.
BLCA, COAD, and KIRC are the cancer types where TRBV6-8 RNA most reproducibly stratifies survival.
RNA 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.
