Comma-shaped body morphogenesis

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Comma-shaped body morphogenesis pathway is significantly associated with the shRNA dependency of multiple genes, with the BLOOD_Leukemia cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are BMP4, LHX1, and PAX8, each associated with the pathway in up to 10 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 box plot shows the strongest association, BMP4 grouped by Comma-shaped body morphogenesis-low versus -high activity in BLOOD_Leukemia.

Pathway-associated genes by consensus

Ranked by combined sampling and lineage consensus. X-score (pathway→partner) and Y-score (partner→pathway) are standardized regression coefficients; both directions are reported because the association is undirected. The reported p-values are derived from the association test.
