Fatty acid catabolic process

Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Fatty acid catabolic process pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the GBM cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are PIF1, H2AZ1, and RAD51, 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, Fatty acid catabolic process activity versus PIF1 in GBM (Pearson r = -0.38).

Pathway-associated genes by consensus

Ranked by combined sampling and lineage consensus. X-score (pathway→partner) and Y-score (partner→pathway) are standardized regression coefficients; both directions are reported because the association is undirected. The reported p-values are derived from the association test.

Lineage	Partner gene	X-score	Y-score	p(X)	p(Y)	Sampling consensus	Lineage consensus
GBM	PIF1 →	-0.763	-0.175	<.001	<.001	3	6
COAD	H2AZ1 →	-0.825	-0.218	<.001	<.001	3	6
