Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Regulation of ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the HNSC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are SMO, POLD2, and TBC1D4, 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 scatter plot shows the strongest association, Regulation of ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport activity versus SMO in HNSC (Pearson r = -0.16).
