Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle contraction pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the BRCA cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are ARHGAP42, VIM_S22, and UNG, each associated with the pathway in up to 7 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, Regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle contraction activity versus ARHGAP42 in BRCA (Pearson r = 0.22).
