MORC2

associated omics data
MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2Genealiases: CMT2Z · DIGFAN · ZCW3 · ZCWCC1

Q-omics provides the consensus-scored MORC2 profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. MORC2 expression is associated with patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRP. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, MORC2 is differentially expressed in 15, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Additionally, MORC2 protein abundance shows 25,272 significant protein co-abundance associations, with the highest sampling consensus in LSCC. Together, these results highlight KIRP, HNSC, and LSCC as cancer lineages where MORC2 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 MORC2 survival associations across molecular data types. MORC2 RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (23), followed by mutation status (7) and mass-spec protein abundance (7). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each molecular layer.

This table ranks reproducible MORC2 RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High MORC2 expression shows unfavorable associations in KIRP, COAD, MESO, UVM, ACC and LIHC. The KIRP 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 KIRP as the clearest survival context for MORC2 RNA expression.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for MORC2. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. MORC2 shows higher tumor expression in HNSC, COAD, KIRC, LIHC, LUAD and LUSC. The HNSC box plot shows higher MORC2 RNA expression in tumor versus normal tissue (log2 FC = +1.395, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with MORC2 in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, MORC2 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, MORC2 RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in LUNG_SCLC, while CRISPR and shRNA rows add functional-dependency signals in LUNG_NSCLC_LUAD and LARGE_INTESTINE.
