Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Cardiac neural crest cell differentiation involved in heart development 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 EPAS1, CYGB, and RNU1-1, 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, Cardiac neural crest cell differentiation involved in heart development activity versus EPAS1 in CCRCC (Pearson r = -0.12).
