We performed consensus clustering analysis to identify angiogenesis molecular subtypes for ccRCC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to develop a novel ARG-related signature as a prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. Internal and external validation were then performed in TCGA and ICGC cohort, respectively.Results: We identified a total of two angiogenesis molecular subtypes of ccRCC. The overall survival (OS) of subtype 1 ccRCC was significantly decreased compared with that of subtype 2 ccRCC (P=0.001). These two molecular subtypes have significantly different tumor microenvironment and immune checkpoint inhibitor sensitivities (P< 0.05). Besides, we developed a novel signature based on three ARGs (including MSX1, TIMP1 and JAG2) for subtype 1 ccRCC. The difference in OS between high- and low-risk group was statistically significant in training cohort (P=0.009), test cohort (P=0.024), the whole type 1 cohort (P< 0.001), and validation cohort (P=0.041). The AUC for one-year OS prediction was 0.732, 0.710, 0.725, and 0.645 in training cohort, test cohort, the whole type 1 cohort, and validation cohort, respectively. Independent prognostic analysis showed that this signature was an independent predictor for OS of subtype 1 ccRCC (P=0.028914). The power of this prognostic signature was superior to other signatures reported in previous studies.Conclusion: We developed and successfully validated a novel ARG signature for predicting prognosis of subtype 1 ccRCC, which was superior to several previous signatures.Keywords: clear cell renal cell carcinoma, angiogenesis, molecular subtypes, signature, prognosis
