Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the "Nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay" pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the OESOPHAGUS cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are NCF2, LRP11, and ELK1, each associated with the pathway in up to 5 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, "Nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay" activity versus NCF2 in OESOPHAGUS (Pearson r = -0.56).
