Endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response

Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the UCEC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are DDX55, SMYD5, and TNPO3, 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, Endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response activity versus DDX55 in UCEC (Pearson r = -0.22).

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.
