Regulation of lipid transport

Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Regulation of lipid transport pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the BRCA cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are ALDH2, SMC2, and PRPF40A, 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, Regulation of lipid transport activity versus ALDH2 in BRCA (Pearson r = 0.45).

Pathway-associated proteins 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.

Lineage	Partner protein	X-score	Y-score	p(X)	p(Y)	Sampling consensus	Lineage consensus
BRCA	ALDH2 →	+0.588	+0.023	.001	<.001	3	7
LSCC	SMC2 →	-0.487	-0.042	<.001	<.001	3	7
