Across TCGA patient cohorts, KIT mutation is significantly associated with the total protein of many other genes, with 79 significant associations in total. UCEC shows the largest number of these associations.
The most reproducible KIT-associated genes across cancer lineages are Notch1, p38-MAPK_pT180_Y182, and PDCD4. Each is linked with KIT in more than 2 cancer types. Because this analysis shows association rather than direction, both KIT-to-partner and partner-to-KIT results are reported.
Each partner links to its own Q-omics profile. The box plot shows the strongest example, Notch1 grouped by KIT-low versus KIT-high in UCEC.
