Across TCGA patient cohorts, CTSO mutation is significantly associated with the RNA expression of many other genes, with 2,814 significant associations in total. UCEC shows the largest number of these associations.
The most reproducible CTSO-associated genes across cancer lineages are KRTAP23-1, TRGJP2, and RNU6ATAC30P. Each is linked with CTSO in more than 1 cancer types. Because this analysis shows association rather than direction, both CTSO-to-partner and partner-to-CTSO results are reported.
Each partner links to its own Q-omics profile. The box plot shows the strongest example, KRTAP23-1 grouped by CTSO-low versus CTSO-high in UCEC.
