Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the "CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell differentiation" pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the CCRCC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are HTRA4, C1QC, and C1QB, 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, "CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell differentiation" activity versus HTRA4 in CCRCC (Pearson r = -0.07).
