Q-omics provides the consensus-scored FOLR1 profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. FOLR1 expression is associated with patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, FOLR1 is differentially expressed in 14, with the highest sampling consensus in KICH. Additionally, FOLR1 protein abundance shows 23,042 significant protein co-abundance associations, with the highest sampling consensus in LSCC. Together, these results highlight KIRC, KICH, and LSCC as cancer lineages where FOLR1 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 FOLR1 survival associations across molecular data types. FOLR1 RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (25), followed by mutation status (4) and mass-spec protein abundance (2). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.

This table ranks reproducible FOLR1 RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High FOLR1 expression shows unfavorable associations in LGG, ACC, LIHC, OV and LUSC, but favorable associations in KIRC. The KIRC Kaplan–Meier curve shows clear separation, with the low-expression group declining faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p = .004). Together, the overview and detailed table identify KIRC as the clearest survival context for FOLR1 RNA expression.

Tumor vs Normal expression

This table summarizes FOLR1 tumor–normal expression differences by data type. RNA shows broader differences across cancer types, with a lineage consensus of 14, while mass-spec protein shows differences in 4. The strongest signals are observed in THCA for RNA and CCRCC for protein.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for FOLR1. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. FOLR1 shows lower tumor expression in KICH, THCA, KIRP, LUSC and LUAD and higher tumor expression in COAD. The KICH box plot shows higher FOLR1 RNA expression in normal versus tumor tissue (log2 FC = −5.489, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with FOLR1 in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, FOLR1 shows the broadest associations at the RNA and protein expression levels, with LSCC recurring as the lineage with the largest associated feature set. In cancer cell lines, FOLR1 RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in BREAST, while CRISPR and shRNA rows add functional-dependency signals in LUNG_NSCLC_LUAD and OVARY.
