Q-omics provides the consensus-scored NSUN2 profile across patient tissues and cancer cell-line models. NSUN2 expression is associated with patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in KIRP. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, NSUN2 is differentially expressed in 16, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Additionally, NSUN2 protein abundance shows 24,603 significant protein co-abundance associations, with the highest sampling consensus in GBM. Together, these results highlight KIRP, HNSC, and GBM as cancer lineages where NSUN2 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 NSUN2 survival associations across molecular data types. NSUN2 RNA expression shows survival associations in the most cancer types (25), followed by mutation status (7) 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 NSUN2 RNA expression–survival associations across cancer types. High NSUN2 expression shows unfavorable associations in KIRP, KICH, UVM, LGG and LIHC, but favorable associations in SCLC. 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 NSUN2 RNA expression.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal expression differences for NSUN2. A negative fold-change indicates higher expression in normal tissue than in tumor tissue. NSUN2 shows higher tumor expression in HNSC, COAD, KIRC, STAD, LUAD and BLCA. The HNSC box plot shows higher NSUN2 RNA expression in tumor versus normal tissue (log2 FC = +1.263, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with NSUN2 in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, NSUN2 shows the broadest associations at the RNA and protein expression levels, with GBM recurring as the lineage with the largest associated feature set. In cancer cell lines, NSUN2 RNA and mutation anchors are most strongly linked to RNA-expression features, especially in SKIN, while CRISPR and shRNA rows add functional-dependency signals in BLOOD_Lymphoma and CNS.
