Response to salt stress

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Response to salt stress pathway is significantly associated with the shRNA dependency of multiple genes, with the SKIN cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are TP53, MDM2, and XRCC6, each associated with the pathway in up to 10 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, TP53 grouped by Response to salt stress-low versus -high activity in SKIN.

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.
