Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Nucleolar large rRNA transcription by RNA polymerase I pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the BRCA cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are CHD4, CTNNBL1, and MBD3, each associated with the pathway in up to 7 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, Nucleolar large rRNA transcription by RNA polymerase I activity versus CHD4 in BRCA (Pearson r = 0.39).
