Epigenetic regulation of gene expression

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Epigenetic regulation of gene expression pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the LARGE_INTESTINE cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are DPYSL2, BBX, and PBK, 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 box plot shows the strongest association, DPYSL2 grouped by Epigenetic regulation of gene expression-low versus -high activity in LARGE_INTESTINE.

Pathway-associated genes 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.
