Hypothalamus cell differentiation

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Hypothalamus cell differentiation pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the BREAST cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are MPP4, TSPAN5, and LHX4, each associated with the pathway in up to 4 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, Hypothalamus cell differentiation activity versus MPP4 in BREAST (Pearson r = 0.88).

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.
