Notochord morphogenesis

pathway activity — tumor vs normal
GO:0048570Tumor vs NormalRNA activityBox plot · TCGA cohorts

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNA activity of the Notochord morphogenesis pathway differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of the 18 cancer types tested.

The strongest signal is observed in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), where pathway activity is higher in tumor tissue than in matched normal tissue. In most cancer types, this pathway shows higher activity in tumors.

THCA, BLCA, and COAD show the most reproducible tumor–normal differences in pathway activity.

Tumor vs normal pathway activity by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Activity change represents the tumor-versus-normal difference in pathway activity on a log2 scale. Positive values indicate higher pathway activity in tumor tissue. The reported p-values are derived from the corresponding differential activity tests.
