Q-omics provides the consensus-scored GSS profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. GSS expression is associated with patient survival in 26 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in UVM. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, GSS is differentially expressed in 17, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Additionally, GSS protein abundance shows 20,126 significant protein co-abundance associations, with the highest sampling consensus in PDAC. Together, these results highlight UVM, HNSC, and PDAC as cancer lineages where GSS 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 GSS survival associations across molecular data types. GSS RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (26), followed by mutation status (2) and mass-spec protein abundance (5). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.

This table ranks reproducible GSS RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High GSS expression shows unfavorable associations in UVM, LIHC, LGG and ACC, but favorable associations in KIRP and READ. The UVM 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 UVM as the clearest survival context for GSS RNA expression.

Tumor vs Normal expression

This table summarizes GSS tumor–normal expression differences by data type. RNA shows broader differences across cancer types, with a lineage consensus of 17, while mass-spec protein shows differences in 6. The strongest signals are observed in HNSC for RNA and PDAC for protein.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for GSS. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. GSS shows higher tumor expression in HNSC, BLCA, STAD, LIHC, KIRP and LUAD. The HNSC box plot shows higher GSS RNA expression in tumor versus normal tissue (log2 FC = +1.076, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

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