Q-omics provides the consensus-scored DEFB108A profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. DEFB108A expression is associated with patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in THYM. Additionally, DEFB108A RNA expression shows 5,852 significant gene co-expression associations, with the highest sampling consensus in LUSC. Together, these results highlight THYM, and LUSC as cancer lineages where DEFB108A 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 DEFB108A survival associations across molecular data types. DEFB108A RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (6). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.

This table ranks reproducible DEFB108A RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High DEFB108A expression shows unfavorable associations in THYM, UCEC, LIHC, STAD, TGCT and KIRC. The THYM Kaplan–Meier curve shows clear separation, with the high-expression group declining faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). Together, the overview and detailed table identify THYM as the clearest survival context for DEFB108A RNA expression.
