DEFA1B

associated omics data
Gene

Q-omics provides the consensus-scored DEFA1B profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. DEFA1B expression is associated with patient survival in 1 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in GBM. Additionally, DEFA1B RNA expression shows 2 significant drug associations, with the highest sampling consensus in PEMB_ALL. Together, these results highlight GBM, and PEMB_ALL as cancer lineages where DEFA1B shows reproducible signals across survival, tumor–normal expression, and patient cross-omics analyses.

Every result is evaluated using two consensus scores. Sampling consensus measures how consistently a finding is reproduced within a cancer lineage across different conditions. Lineage consensus measures how broadly the result is shared across cancer types, distinguishing pan-cancer signals from lineage-specific patterns.

Survival associations

This table summarizes DEFA1B survival associations across molecular data types. DEFA1B RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (1). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.

This table ranks reproducible DEFA1B RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High DEFA1B expression shows unfavorable associations in GBM. The GBM Kaplan–Meier curve shows clear separation, with the high-expression group declining faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p = .042). Together, the overview and detailed table identify GBM as the clearest survival context for DEFA1B RNA expression.

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with DEFA1B in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, DEFA1B shows the broadest associations at the RNA and protein expression levels, with PEMB_ALL recurring as the lineage with the largest associated feature set. In cancer cell lines, DEFA1B RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in BLOOD_Leukemia.
