Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the LUSC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are RECQL5, TEPSIN, and MSH5, each associated with the pathway in up to 24 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, Replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange activity versus RECQL5 in LUSC (Pearson r = 0.20).
