Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the PDAC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are BOK, AJUBA, and PGF, each associated with the pathway in up to 5 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, Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules activity versus BOK in PDAC (Pearson r = 0.17).
