Q-omics provides the consensus-scored MSL2 profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. MSL2 expression is associated with patient survival in 30 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, MSL2 is differentially expressed in 13, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Additionally, MSL2 RNA expression shows 21,324 significant gene co-expression associations, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRP. Together, these results highlight KIRC, HNSC, and KIRP as cancer lineages where MSL2 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 MSL2 survival associations across molecular data types. MSL2 RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (30), 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 MSL2 RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High MSL2 expression shows favorable associations in KIRC, UCS, SKCM, HNSC, UVM and SCLC. The KIRC 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 KIRC as the clearest survival context for MSL2 RNA expression.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for MSL2. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. MSL2 shows lower tumor expression in THCA and higher tumor expression in HNSC, LIHC, STAD, CHOL and LUSC. The HNSC box plot shows higher MSL2 RNA expression in tumor versus normal tissue (log2 FC = +0.812, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with MSL2 in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, MSL2 shows the broadest associations at the RNA and protein expression levels, with KIRP recurring as the lineage with the largest associated feature set. In cancer cell lines, MSL2 RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in UPPER_AERODIGESTIVE_TRACT, while CRISPR and shRNA rows add functional-dependency signals in LIVER and BLOOD_Leukemia.
