GO:0002933Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~7 member genes
Q-omics provides the Lipid hydroxylation (GO:0002933) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 7 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 27 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in ACC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 8, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 28,177 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in BLCA. Together, these results highlight ACC, HNSC, and BLCA as cancer lineages where the pathway shows reproducible signals across outcome, tissue activity, and molecular association 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. Pathway-against-pathway and pathway-against-mutation comparisons are not available for ontology entities.
Survival associations
This table summarizes Lipid hydroxylation survival associations by molecular data type. RNA-level pathway activity shows survival associations in the most cancer types (27). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each layer.
This table ranks reproducible pathway activity–survival associations across cancer types. High Lipid hydroxylation activity shows favorable associations in ACC, BLCA, LIHC, LAML, MESO and UCS. In the ACC Kaplan–Meier curve the low-activity group declines faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). ACC ranks highest by sampling consensus for Lipid hydroxylation.
This table summarizes Lipid hydroxylation tumor–normal activity differences by data type. RNA-level activity shows significant tumor–normal differences in 8 cancer types. The strongest signals are in LIHC for RNA.
This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows consistently lower tumor activity across HNSC, LIHC, UCEC, LUSC, LUAD and BRCA. In the HNSC box plot, normal samples show higher pathway activity than tumor samples (log2 FC = −0.816, t-test p = .001).
This table shows molecular features associated with Lipid hydroxylation pathway activity in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, pathway activity is most strongly linked to RNA and protein features, with the largest associated set in BLCA. In cancer cell lines, RNA-expression features and functional dependencies dominate, with the largest set in BLOOD_Leukemia.
