Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Establishment or maintenance of cell polarity pathway is significantly associated with the shRNA dependency of multiple genes, with the LARGE_INTESTINE cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are PTPN12, GPR82, and TSC22D4, 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 box plot shows the strongest association, PTPN12 grouped by Establishment or maintenance of cell polarity-low versus -high activity in LARGE_INTESTINE.
