Mitochondrial RNA catabolic process

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Mitochondrial RNA catabolic process pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the PANCREAS cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are EIF2AK2, ITGAL, and ASIC3, 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 box plot shows the strongest association, EIF2AK2 grouped by Mitochondrial RNA catabolic process-low versus -high activity in PANCREAS.

Pathway-associated genes by consensus

Ranked by combined sampling and lineage consensus. X-score (pathway→partner) and Y-score (partner→pathway) are standardized regression coefficients; both directions are reported because the association is undirected. The reported p-values are derived from the association test.

Lineage	Partner gene	X-score	Y-score	p(X)	p(Y)	Sampling consensus	Lineage consensus
