Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the SKIN cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are PSMC3IP, NUDT2, and GPD2, each associated with the pathway in up to 5 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, Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction activity versus PSMC3IP in SKIN (Pearson r = -0.47).
