Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Iron ion transmembrane transport pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the GBM cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are NELFCD, ZC3H18_S534, and YTHDC1_S308, each associated with the pathway in up to 8 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, Iron ion transmembrane transport activity versus NELFCD in GBM (Pearson r = -0.44).
