Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the COAD cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are TIMP3, JAM2, and CALHM5, 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, Vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway activity versus TIMP3 in COAD (Pearson r = 0.23).
