Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the ERAD pathway pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the CCRCC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are EEF2_S502, MAP2_S862, and C8orf37_S96, 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, ERAD pathway activity versus EEF2_S502 in CCRCC (Pearson r = -0.34).
