Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the "Positive regulation of synaptic transmission, cholinergic" pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the PDAC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are AKAP12_S806, VCL, and DPYSL2, each associated with the pathway in up to 7 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, "Positive regulation of synaptic transmission, cholinergic" activity versus AKAP12_S806 in PDAC (Pearson r = -0.29).
