Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process 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 TOP2A, SMC4, and MCM2, each associated with the pathway in up to 8 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, Pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process activity versus TOP2A in LSCC (Pearson r = 0.53).
