Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Smoothened signaling pathway pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the LSCC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are TCTN1, DVL1_S604, and IFT172, each associated with the pathway in up to 3 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, Smoothened signaling pathway activity versus TCTN1 in LSCC (Pearson r = 0.25).
