Q-omics provides the consensus-scored HLA-DQB2 profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. HLA-DQB2 expression is associated with patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in SKCM. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, HLA-DQB2 is differentially expressed in 7, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRC. Additionally, HLA-DQB2 RNA expression shows 15,064 significant protein co-abundance associations, with the highest sampling consensus in LSCC. Together, these results highlight SKCM, KIRC, and LSCC as cancer lineages where HLA-DQB2 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.

This table summarizes HLA-DQB2 survival associations across molecular data types. HLA-DQB2 RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (25), followed by mutation status (1) and mass-spec protein abundance (6). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.
This table ranks reproducible HLA-DQB2 RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High HLA-DQB2 expression shows unfavorable associations in UVM and LGG, but favorable associations in SKCM, KIRC, HNSC and BRCA. The SKCM Kaplan–Meier curve shows clear separation, with the low-expression group declining faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). Together, the overview and detailed table identify SKCM as the clearest survival context for HLA-DQB2 RNA expression.
This table summarizes HLA-DQB2 tumor–normal expression differences by data type. RNA shows broader differences across cancer types, with a lineage consensus of 7, while mass-spec protein shows differences in 3. The strongest signals are observed in KIRC for RNA and LSCC for protein.
This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for HLA-DQB2. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. HLA-DQB2 shows lower tumor expression in LUSC, LUAD and PAAD and higher tumor expression in KIRC, THCA and BRCA. The KIRC box plot shows higher HLA-DQB2 RNA expression in tumor versus normal tissue (log2 FC = +2.888, t-test p < 0.001).
This table shows molecular features associated with HLA-DQB2 in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, HLA-DQB2 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, HLA-DQB2 RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in BLOOD_Leukemia, while CRISPR and shRNA rows add functional-dependency signals in LUNG_NSCLC_LUAD and UPPER_AERODIGESTIVE_TRACT.
