Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Chondrocyte hypertrophy pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the HNSC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are SOX9, TGFBR2, and TGFBR2_S548, each associated with the pathway in up to 6 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, Chondrocyte hypertrophy activity versus SOX9 in HNSC (Pearson r = 0.52).
