GO:0032510Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~17 member genes

Q-omics provides the Endosome to lysosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway (GO:0032510) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 17 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 18 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 13, with the highest sampling consensus in THCA. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 36,171 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in KIRP. Together, these results highlight HNSC, THCA, and KIRP as cancer lineages where the pathway shows reproducible signals across outcome, tissue activity, and molecular association analyses.

Every result is evaluated using two consensus scores. Sampling consensus measures how consistently a finding is reproduced within a cancer lineage across different conditions. Lineage consensus measures how broadly the result is shared across cancer types, distinguishing pan-cancer signals from lineage-specific patterns. Pathway-against-pathway and pathway-against-mutation comparisons are not available for ontology entities.

Survival associations

This table summarizes Endosome to lysosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway survival associations by molecular data type.

This table ranks reproducible pathway activity–survival associations across cancer types. High Endosome to lysosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway activity shows favorable associations in HNSC, KIRC and SARC, but unfavorable associations in LIHC, KIRP and PAAD. In the HNSC Kaplan–Meier curve the low-activity group declines faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). HNSC ranks highest by sampling consensus for Endosome to lysosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows higher tumor activity across CHOL and LIHC and lower tumor activity in THCA, KICH, COAD and HNSC. In the THCA box plot, normal samples show higher pathway activity than tumor samples (log2 FC = −0.062, t-test p < 0.001).
