Negative regulation of cell maturation

Across TCGA cell cohorts, RNA activity of the Negative regulation of cell maturation pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the LUNG_SCLC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.

The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are CFL2, PHAX, and CALU, 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 box plot shows the strongest association, CFL2 grouped by Negative regulation of cell maturation-low versus -high activity in LUNG_SCLC.

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.
